The Mental Health Consequences of Torture (Plenum Series on Stress and Coping)

From our regular book review column.

This book reviews scientific information and discusses the related policy, legal, and personal issues in an attempt to answer a fundamental question: how the experience of individual torture, large-scale massacres, religious or ethnic cleansing, death squads, the disappearance of loved ones, and random warrelated violence affects individuals, families, and societies.
