In a context where transformations occur in gender roles and where money and consumption hold an important position in love relationships, it is more and more difficult to integrate them in couples s life. Consumption behavior has assumed academic importance in recent decades including behavior of excessive buying -, which translates to the figure of compulsive shopper.This study aims to map interaction patterns amongst couples where one of the members is diagnosed a compulsive buyer, addressed in families from vertical and horizontal axes through communication process, as proposed by Watzlawick, Beavin and Jackson (1967). A qualitative survey was produced, outlined by a Multiple Case Study, developed through semi-structured interviews and genograms. Eight heterosexual couples participated in the study and interviewed at FMUSP s Psychiatry Institute (IPq). Based on the analyses, four patterns emerged: symmetrical with arguments and fights and with pathological interaction and escalations; symmetrical with arguments and fights with escalations that occur only when stress increases; rigid complementary with submission by one of the two dyad members, and; symmetrical with acceptance and capacity to deal with differences, which may or may not escalate. We observed that the rigid complementary and the symmetrical with argument interaction patterns are the most present amongst participants parents, whose transmission ended up interfering in the construction of couples interaction. Use of the abrupt/curt style, considered a form of verbal violence is received from their family of origin and expressed in the relationship of most participating couples. Oniomania involves relationship patterns received from the previous generation by dysfunctional interaction patterns, which can be associated to impulsive consumption actions. We recommend group couples therapy to break through these injunctions and rebuild past experiences to recreate new living forms and decrease downfalls
