Psychological torture: Characteristics and impact on mental health

Joseph El-Khoury et al.

Summary: Torture has been illegal in most of Europe and the United States for over a century but has resurged in recent years in other parts of the world. Psychological torture, justified in the name of national security, is increasingly adopted by legitimate authorities. The long-term psychiatric impact of psychological torture remains poorly defined, and the role of mental health professionals in preventing or addressing it is unclear and needs reinforcement.
