Abstract

Violence against women in general and particularly in the couple is now recognized by leading international organizations as a serious social and health problem.
In this context, from different disciplines are being addressed those issues that can contribute to the understanding of this problem in order to ensure its prevention and ultimately eradication.
Specifically, this paper examines the beliefs and attitudes about violence against women in the  couple from two perspectives. Firstly, from a social perspective, it examines the social perception of this problem in our social environment and its possible impact. Secondly, from an individual perspective, it examines the effect of an abusive relationship about the beliefs and attitudes of its sufferers and their possible explanatory role to stay in it, and also the role of beliefs and attitudes of the perpetrator as a possible causal factor in the occurrence of this violence.
