The objective was to investigate the affection in the bond mother and daughter victims of sexual abuse, understanding the affective logics of conduct, and to investigate transgenerational issues and mental health. Three families from an assistance program to victims of sexual abuse participated in this study conducted by means of home visits, semi-structured interviews with parents, genograms for viewing the families’ life cycle. The analysis of the results used the constructive-interpretative method of González Rey, resulting in four areas of meaning which revealed: 1) transgenerational abuse issues in learning about protection, 2) development of links patterns, 3) affective logics of conduct built on the experiences of the roles and 4) aggressiveness as a interpersonal bond pattern in victims of violence. We perceived the the importance of welcoming families with their pains, opening a safe space to identify and express themselves, trying to break patterns transgenerational lack of protection, avoiding revictimization, and trying to promote family mental health.
