In this research, we sought to understand and identify the interventions of psychologists in groups with men who committed violence against women. This research proposed to broaden the look at the universe of violence against women and to insert men who commit violence as part of a process that demands specialized services. This was in line with the Maria da Penha Law, which created specific mechanisms for accountability and education with the possibility of judges decreeing mandatory attendance at reflective groups. The work of these groups, in a gradual way, has acquired relevance in the Brazilian scenario, both with regard to facing violence against women and as a work that involves the network of professionals from the legal and psychosocial sphere. In this context, the figure of the professional psychologist is presented as a facilitator of the groups, an action that comes out of the traditional clinical model and comes to enable the exercise of group discussions and the creation of a psychic space in the lives of these men so that they can rethink their actions, their values and beliefs. This research was qualitative, being carried out with four professional psychologists who work with groups in the ABC region of São Paulo. Semi-structured interviews were carried out which were analyzed using phenomenological perspectives. With regard to the scope of the professionals interviewed in the research, there are: a) the perception of the effectiveness of this work when they observe changes in male attitudes and discourses, b) rethink the expansion and new possibilities for the psychologist to face the social phenomenon of violence c) joint work with the judiciary. Regarding the challenges found, the non-remuneration of professional psychologists in this type of work stands out, acting on a voluntary basis. the relevance of the psychology service that addresses issues related to violence against women is emphasized, since the work with groups of these men achieves transformations in male attitudes that interfere in gender asymmetries. In the meantime, investments in services are necessary in order to expand and keep them in operation.
