A theoretical elaboration is presented around the question: what is the violence of love, from the psychoanalytic perspective, in our days? To do this, he realizes the increasingly evident social expressions of destruction in the name of love, and that lead to mental health problems, due to the confusion of the signifier as sacrificed and as sacrificial, as lost or as an instrument. From this perspective, several little-addressed proposals emerge, such as inquiring about the nature of love, its causes, its forms of action, and with unavoidable links that, up to now, are usually presented as opposed to violence, which nevertheless is revealed no longer in opposition, but in a constitutive bond of love itself. The theme of the violence of love, in this sense, requires a resignation, and this is to study love isolated from its amalgamic component. To go deeper into this perspective, the psychoanalytic perspective provides considerations that require reflections established even outside the classical discourse, such as its romantic definition.
