«Mujeres maltratadas» is the essay by Marie-France Hirigoyen on intimate partner violence, published by Ediciones Paidós in paperback (200 pages).
The author, a psychiatrist specialising in psychological violence, analyses how intimate partner violence installs itself progressively: before any physical aggression, controlling, intimidating and dominating behaviours appear that trap the victim. Drawing on numerous cases, she explains these mechanisms and offers keys to recognising the first signs and acting in time.
Spanish edition translated by Gemma Andújar; work originally published in French in 2004. Number 104 in the Contextos collection.
Aimed at adult readers interested in psychology, feminism and the dynamics of intimate partner violence.
Marie-France Hirigoyen is a French psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and psychotherapist specialising in mobbing, a form of bullying. Her interest in stress led her in the mid-1980s into victimology, a branch of criminology. She later turned her attention to workplace stress generated by mobbing behaviour.
