Politically-motivated torture and its survivors : a desk study review of the literature
This desk study intends to update and complement the desk study review of the torture rehabilitation literature completed in 1998 (Gurr and Quiroga, 2001), emphasizing areas not covered by the original study but updating the torture rehabilitation literature from the publication of the original desk study. Some selected earlier references have been retained, but the focus remains primarily on the published literature from 1998 through mid-2004. This paper intends to stand alone but will refer back to original
study. The target audience is those working in or interested in the field of rehabilitation of politically motivated torture survivors.
