N2  - Interviews with 32 Chilean refugees elicited descriptive findings on the effects of detention and torture and subsequent exile in the U.S. It is suggested that exile for this group constitutes a continuation rather than a cessation of their suffering. Marital problems, economic hardship, and loneliness are recounted by the adults, while teachers and parents report adjustment and behavioral difficulties among the children. The influence of sociopolitical factors on these outcomes is discussed.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
