| Abstract
|
:
|
Treating Victims of Torture and Violence is the definitive manual for therapists treating victims of torture, prisoners of war, and casualties of forced migration. Divided into five sections dealing with basic concepts of torture - violence and aggression, the torture syndrome, psychotherapeutic treatment, the cultural psychology of torture syndrome, and cultural psychological treatment - Treating Victims of Torture and Violence employs both classic psychoanalytic and cognitive-behavioral methods. Realizing that torture victims are frequently from different cultures than those of their therapists, Elsass provides in-depth analysis to aid therapists dealing with a multicultural clientele.
