This paper explores the relational psychoanalytic approach to addressing gender-based violence through the case study of Lorena, a survivor of lifelong abuse. It highlights the normalization of gender violence within patriarchal societies and its profound psychological and relational consequences, as well as the transformative potential of incorporating a gender perspective and fostering sorority—solidarity among women—in therapeutic settings. Facilitating mutual recognition between therapist and patient, relational psychoanalysis enables survivors to regain a sense of subjectivity and emotional autonomy through intersubjective dialogue, as well as confront experiences of annihilating shame and dissociation while fostering resilience and empowerment. The author underscores the critical need for gender-aware psychoanalytic practices to address the pervasive impact of gender violence and advocate for societal change, contributing to the evolving discourse on integrating feminist epistemologies into psychoanalytic theory and practice.
