Directed towards the rehabilitation of survivors of torture and organized violence, from 3 months after the trauma and onwards. Practical recommendations for health workers at different skill levels in regions lacking specialized medical care. An interdisciplinary approach containing physical, physiological, pharmacological, psychological, social, psychiatric and therapeutic aspects. The book is problem-oriented, and not professionally oriented. It uses the globally developed concepts of the International Classification of Functioning & Disability (ICF; WHO, 2001) rather than diagnoses from Western medicine. This serves to emphasize the rehabilitation approach, which is focused on a person’s ability to be active and to participate, rather than on disease or on remaining injury. Thus the problems are listed in the three sections: Body Functions; Activities & Participation and Context.
