Abstract
The objective of this research was to study the association between Marital Satisfaction, Idealistic Distortion and psychoactive substances consumption during pregnancy. Seventy five women were evaluated. The kind of substances, their level of consumption and the level of marital satisfaction, and idealistic distortion showed statistical significance between general, scholar and street pregnant women. Results suggest the possibility of a wrong understanding about the problems of these groups, which could explain the little efficiency of psychotherapeutic strategies directed to these populations.
