Abstract: Extant literature guiding therapists' work with female torture survivors is scant. The study presented here engaged nine providers who specialize in this work in a qualitative inquiry regarding clinical presentations unique to this clientele, including the impact(s) that torture has on their a priori and future relationships with intimate partners, family members, and others in their immediate community(ies). The manners in which survivors' experiences with torture influences therapy processes (e.g., transference, attention to culture, pairings with extra-therapeutic factors), therapists' attendance to self-of-the-therapist and supervision foci, and specific suggestions and advice for novice therapists preparing to engage in this type of work were also explored. Clinical- and research- implications of study findings are put forth in conclusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
