Obstetric violence has been increasingly studied with the aim of revealing the phenomenon and raising awareness about the dangers related to excessive interventions during pregnancy, and more specifically during childbirth. This context reveals a technical and impersonal obstetric care system that removes women from their role as protagonists. As a critique of this scenario, the humanization movement emerges, demanding changes in childbirth assistance, such as public policies aimed at comprehensive women's health care. Humanizing obstetric care means incorporating safe and effective procedures into childbirth assistance while ensuring that women have their rights, autonomy, and protagonism secured during this process. This study aimed to discuss the issue of obstetric violence, seeking to understand the place of humanization in childbirth assistance and the possibilities of action of perinatal psychology in addressing the violations that women may experience during the pregnancy-postpartum cycle. For this purpose, a narrative literature review was conducted, which allowed for the gathering of numerous studies on the analyzed topic. The Scielo and Bvs virtual libraries (which include different databases, such as lilacs, medline, psychology index, among others) were used using the following descriptors: "obstetric violence" and psychology; "obstetric violence" and "humanized childbirth"; psychology and childbirth; psychology and prenatal; "humanized childbirth"; "obstetric violence"; "medicalization of childbirth"; "psychological prenatal care"; "perinatal psychology". From the reading of the selected works, it was decided to divide them into four chapters: medicalization of childbirth assistance; obstetric violence; the humanization movement; and finally, perinatal psychology
