Torturers and Victims The Psychology of Torture

According to Françoise Sironi, this supposes an penetration into the mind of the torturer. How is it possible to influence someone to the point of forcing them to confess, reveal information and betray others? Physical violence alone does not suffice. What psychological methods are used ?

She is also the co-founder of the Centre Primo Levi, which specialises in the treatment of victims of torture and collective violence.
