Abstract
Survivors of torture often have physical and psychological scars that are difficult to heal, and too few specialized organizational and professional resources are available to assist in their recovery. In working with torture survivors, social workers must extend their scope of practice beyond what is normally required. In this article, the authors present and discuss 2 case vignettes that illustrate themes and issues common to many survivors of torture.
