| Description |
|
This guide is designed specifically for medical or mental health professional seeking to develop knowledge and skills needed to conduct clinical evaluations of asylum seekers and assess physical or psychological evidence of torture and ill-treatment. Several sections of this guidebook are based on recent international guidelines for medical/legal documentation of torture as outlined in the 1999 Istanbul Protocol for Documenting Torture. Due to the complexity and strong emotional reaction this material may evoke, it is strictly recommended for physical and mental healthcare practitioners interested in learning more about the methods of documenting torture. |
