- Abstract
With the aim to contribute to the comprehension of men's violent behavior towards their female partners this qualitative research – intervention with twelve heterosexual couples identify the needs, expectations and dreams of men and their relationship with the emergence and maintenance of verbal and physical masculine maltreatment. The needs, expectations and dreams of these men can be grouped in three types: the first one includes emotional and relational aspects; the second one includes aspects of the traditional patriarchal culture and the third group shows men's desires for egalitarian relationships. This investigation found that not only men's desire to dominate, control and have power contribute to men's violent acts but also their lack of affection and emotional attachment to others.
