Descripción:This study addresses the issue of violence experienced by women in their dating relationships during late adolescence from the attachment theory perspective. Four participants were involved in the study with the purpose of analyzing the characteristics of the bonds throughout their stages of development. This way it was possible to characterize attachment styles of women who remained exposed to abusive situations. To achieve this, it was necessary to work with three instruments. First of all, a life story interview was used, in order to identify personal characteristics that have an important influence on attachment styles. Second, it was used an attachment styles interview called Entrevista de Apego a los Pares (Campos, 2005), and the Attachment Styles Questionnaire (Bartholomew & Horowitz, 1991). The results displayed insecure attachment styles; there were two fearful type cases and two anxious ones. This relates to the personal history of each participant, involving gender factors and the socio-cultural environment. By analyzing the dynamics of these elements, their influence on staying in abusive relationships can be understood; in that way, an integrated analysis of the issue can be achieved.
