abstract="The short-term treatment of a Honduran torture survivor is recounted. Torture--the &quot;counter-therapy of the State&quot; (Ritterman 1987, p. 43)--involves intentional physical and psychological destruction of human beings. The socio-political context in which the traumatic events occurred is described, as are the theoretical and ethical assumptions underlying the work. Treatment of victims of organized violence is a formidable challenge. Obstacles and advantages of short-term psychotherapy and use of the therapist's emotional reactions to understand survivors' experiences are emphasized.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
