- | The psychological consequences of torture | 0:03 |
are variable because people are different. | 0:06 | |
They have different resiliency. | 0:09 | |
There are different meanings attached | 0:12 | |
to their torture experiences and the methods themselves. | 0:14 | |
You might expect something to be horrific | 0:19 | |
and long lasting in terms of psychological consequences | 0:21 | |
whereas others might be less so | 0:23 | |
and that might not be the case for an individual. | 0:26 | |
The only way to really know | 0:28 | |
is to talk to someone, | 0:30 | |
to examine them. | 0:31 | |
And by and large, | 0:32 | |
we know from a lot of literature | 0:35 | |
on psychological consequences of torture, | 0:37 | |
the things that generally are most disturbing to people | 0:42 | |
and last the longest is | 0:45 | |
well sexual humiliations and assault, | 0:51 | |
things that really get at people's identity. | 0:54 | |
It's some of the humiliations. | 0:58 | |
Sometimes it's betrayal. | 1:03 | |
If you're forced to betray someone else. | 1:05 | |
And it wasn't so much the case in Guantanamo or elsewhere. | 1:07 | |
Physical torture isn't always as psychologically damaging | 1:13 | |
as some of the other things as I said before, | 1:22 | |
this individual who was peed on. | 1:27 |
