The following study aims to identify the relationship between emotional dependency and intimate partner violence in a sample of women who utilize the psychology service of a national health establishment. A quantitative approach is followed with a comparative associative strategy.

The results suggest that there is a statistically significant relationship between the variables of study, since differences between the two study groups was found and it was found that the value assumed correlation coefficient between variables was highly significant.
