Violence against women has been classified as a serious public health problem with high rates that vary according to the region. There are many associated factors, such as alcohol abuse, depression, family patterns of gender violence that represent lived experiences of violence, among these, attachment to the partner is one of the most frequent and constitutes a barrier to not face a relationship fraught with abuse and violence. This research which has a qualitative and descriptive approach, and whose objective is to describe the predominant attachment style in women victims of violence through the application of psychometric tests, to help improve the therapeutic approach. A field study was carried out with 28 women victims of violence by their partner who attended the Nosotras con Equidad Foundation in the city of Riobamba, Ecuador. The data were obtained through the application of the Adult Attachment Assessment Questionnaire by Melero and Cantero (2008), they were analyzed with absolute and relative frequencies. Through the results, it was possible to determine the attachment style among the participating women, the most predominant being the elusive-fearful style, followed by elusive-withdrawn and worried. The affective-safe style was presented on the very low scale.
