Since its beginnings in the 1970s, the field of torture rehabilitation has grown rapidly. A growing awareness about the practices of torture (more than 100 countries today practice government sanctioned torture) and its effects on victims is leading to an increasing number of treatment centers staffed by health care professionals who need the best, most up-to-date information and advice they can get. This book delivers it. - Caring for Victims of Torture contains all the collective wisdom of some of the most respected international experts - all distinguished doctors - in governmental torture, including pioneers in the field of traumatic stress. Contributors cover the most recent advances in the field of government-sanctioned torture and offer practical approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of torture victims. Organized into five main sections, this annotated volume provides: guidance on identifying and defining the sequelae of torture; a framework for assessment and treatment; specific treatment interventions; and a discussion of ethical implications. In the final section, physicians working in the field offer first-hand accounts and address how they are trying to balance politics with care-giving.
