abstract="Attachment styles of women who are victims of domestic violence, and its influence in the continuity of abuse was examined. The sample was 50 women divided in two heterogeneous groups, according to socio-demographic criteria. In one group domestic violence was considered. The study was correlational and the design was quasi-experimental ex post facto with mixed research methods. The instruments included the CaMir test and partially structured interviews. The test scores were obtained aided by a software and the interviews were examined though content analysis. The results yield that women who have a preoccupied attachment style are the victims of domestic violence, and these characteristics may affect abuse confrontation and maintenance.
