Facilitando la separación psicológica de las mujeres en proceso de terminar una relación de pareja violenta

Partner violence against women is a social and public health problem. Hence, termination of a violent partner relationship (VRT) is the subject of multiple investigations and the goal of several interventions in the area of health and social services. In spite of the consensus in considering psychological separation (PS) as a crucial component for VRT, there is no definition that allows professionals to understand the phenomenon and guide its intervention. In this article we conducted a review of the ending of the PS process, we propose a procedural definition characterised by several key stages and close with general recommendations for the type of care that could be offered to women who are victims of partner violence.
