From a psychoanalytical perspective, violence against women must be approached as violence against the feminine -a Lacanian concept that goes beyond the anatomy or the man/woman dichotomy and involves different modes of jouissance. Although there have been many advances in the social and legal fields, addressing violence still demonstrates the fragility and the need for policies and rights for women. This paper is based on articulating the image and discourse resources made in the miniseries Maid to address specific topics consistent with the problem and draw implications for theory and clinic. Thus, it seeks to reflect on the possible subjective strategies for coping with domestic violence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
