Violence against women is a global public health concern. In view of this, the objective of the present work is to analyze especially psychological violence against women, to control improvements with the introduction of Law n° 14.188/2021. It is considered, from the consequences that the violence suffered by women left the sphere incorporated exclusively in the family (private field), to be addressed as a public policy (public field) from 1990, hosted by the State, it is achieved nowadays, as a structural violence. A deeper view then began, that there are a violence against women often does not leave visible traces, the marks are, in these cases, engraved in the soul, affecting the psycho-emotional field of the female gender. The aim is to analyze, therefore, the importance of protecting the psyche of women, when faced with a society commanded by men, permeated by patriarchal relations. The theoretical contributions of Heleieth Saffioti, Gerda Carol, Pateman, Maria Berenice Dias, Silvia Pimentel, Elder Lisboa Ferreira de Costa, among others, are used. Here, there is a search to answer equally, to what extent the framework of the new law can be considered effective from the perspective of protecting women. The dissertation is divided into three parts: structural violence and society; normative protection for the protection of women; and the protection of women's mental and emotional health. The methodology used for the procedure is qualitative bibliographical and documentary research, using books, articles, legislation, international documents and official information on domestic violence, the dimension and influence of patriarchy that mortally affects the female psyche. The conclusion reached was that aiming to preserve the woman's psyche is a challenge for the law community, because we can observe it go into the functioning of domestic relations, which is built under the aegis of a male chauvinist maternity. Overcoming this bias is not easy, it will require the adoption of public policies against sexist culture to preserve women's mental health and psychological integrity.
