El estudio es de naturaleza cualitativa como el objetivo de analizar las concepciones sobre violencia conyugal de mujeres que sufren ese fenómeno social. El estudio fue realizado en el Centro "Emergencia Mujer" (CEM), de la ciudad de Trujillo, institución estatal, del Ministerio de la Mujer y Desarrollo Social (MINDES) del Perú. El método de historia de vida permitió obtener relatos de diez mujeres que denunciaban la violencia perpetrada por sus compañeros. La análisis temática de las historias de vida evidenciaron las concepciones de la violencia que caracterizaron un lenguaje (in) común que contiene simbolismos asociados a la ética, estética y moral; conceptúan también a la violencia como enfermedad crónica, generacional y como un estado de malestar.
