Este artículo constituye una revisión de la literatura psicológica referida a la violación. En la primera parte nos ocupamos del agresor sexual, enfatizando la naturaleza fundamentalmente agresiva de la violación, y poniendo de manifiesto la necesidad de superar la perspectiva tipológica. La segunda parte trata de la víctima, poniéndose de relieve los impactos de la agresión recibida y las difíciles circunstancias por las que pasa la mujer que ha denunciado el hecho en el proceso penal. Se concluye acentuando el aspecto social de la violación, y comentando las medidas que habría que adoptar a nivel psico-social con objeto de prevenir la aparición de esta conducta.
