The article intends to reflect on the issue of gender-based violence from a feminist psychoanalytical perspective, which, by discouraging and enhancing significant dissemination, i.e. work with the word, tries to deconstruct gender notions from a political dimension and to story down the rules of hegemonic thinking, in order to give priority to addressing feminity from the issue of sexual difference. This perspective allows the possible senses to be broadened and their visibility to go beyond speech, those who, however, play a decisive role in the construction of subjectivities, especially when it comes to strengthening the dominance of one sex over the other. In this context, the text begins by addressing the importance of the name under which each country places the problem of gender-based violence, and sets out which concepts are intended to be reinforced by the name and the assumptions underlying it. In turn, we discuss the theoretical, clinical and political course of work against violence, carried out by a recognised Chilean feminist institution, which allows us to draw reflections, lessons and above all new questions to think about a clinic of the difference. Finally, some government initiatives in recent years are critically discussed, such as the incorporation and visibility of femicide as a statistical indicator of the problem and the creation of treatment centres for men accused of violence against women, an ambitious project which opens us to reflection on the quality of love between men and women.
