Abstract

 This article presents a study on the rescue process of self care with women in a domestic violence context. This proposal was developed by means of a caring practice justified by the interest in carrying out selective prevention from drug abuse and directed to six women submitted to domestic abuse. The data collection was effected through a semi-structured interview, from March to May of 2004 and analyzed according to two thematic axles proposed by Bardin: ‘Knowing the other through listening’ and ‘self care through dialogue’. Those women take ansiolitics in order to cope with the psychological distress and expecting to reduce the negative emotions triggered by violence. It was important encourage such women in the identification of risk behaviors and situations as well as the drug functions in that context of domestic abuse.
