Torture and mental health : a research overview
Over the last two decades, much work has been done on various forms of extreme trauma, particularly after the recognition in the early 1980s of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Since then, significant progress has been made in the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of trauma survivors. Such progress however, has not been parallelled by work specifically on the trauma of torture despite the widespread evidence of torture in the world and its mental health implications
