Trauma and Healing Under State Terrorism

This is an exploration of state violence which shows how the psychological and social trauma caused by violations of basic rights can be healed. The authors develop a model of trauma and healing under state terrorism based on their fieldwork with the Chilean human rights movement. It is characterized by a powerful spirit of survivor resilience and a healing approach which in both theory and practice understands individual suffering in a political perspective.
