Abstract
The heart of this book is a summary of what is known about the mental health consequences of torture and other violent and traumatic events. Central to this review are the research recommendations and their implications for treatment, research, and policy. The contributors made a concerted effort to gather and present this information within a scientific context that included the experiences of survivors, clinicians, policymakers, and researchers.
