Abstract
This article describes psychological and physical methods of torture, the general stress-related sequelae that are unrelated to the method used, and some examples of clinical effects that are related to specific methods. The approach to the rehabilitation of victims of torture practised at RCT is outlined. Two illustrative case histories are given.
