The domestic violence (physical or psychological, uni or bidirectional) poses questions about female victims' personality traits or mental disorders that facilitate the development of violence. A sample of 32 females between 20 and 65 years old was studied with the International Psychiatric Interview - Modified (MINI) and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory 2 (MMPI-2). ANOVA non parametric and Fischer's Exact Test, (p<0.05) were used.
Results:
impulsivity was predominant in crossed violence, and victims showed depressive symptoms and low esteem. MINI showed general anxiety disorder and MMPI-2 showed paranoid symptoms in both groups.
