TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Rehabilitation for torture survivors: six evidence myths and their implications for future research JO - Torture: quarterly journal on rehabilitation of torture victims and prevention of torture A1 - Patel, Nimisha A1 - Williams, Amanda SP - 227 EP - 250 VL - 32 IS - 1/2 N2 - Whilst it is established that torture survivors suffer from complex, multiple and often severe and enduring physical, psychological, social, welfare and many other difficulties; and that rehabilitation as reparation should be holistic, interdisciplinary and specialist, majority of the research on rehabilitation focuses increasingly and almost exclusively on psychological interventions. Further, as-sumptions that this research provides evidence of which are effective psychological interventions may underpin and skew ser-vices funded and provided to torture survivors. In this paper we challenge some of those assumptions, and discuss the concep-tual, theoretical, epistemological and methodological limitations of this research and implications for future research.
