Zusammenfassung

Folter ist ein weitverbreitetes Problem der Menschenrechte und wird in 115 von 215 bzw. 53,5% aller Staaten praktiziert (Amnesty international 1997). Die medizinischen und psychologischen Nachwirkungen auf die Opfer und deren Familien bilden heute ein Problem für das öffentliche Gesundheitswesen in allen Teilen der Welt. Die besondere Aufmerksamkeit der Gesundheitsversorgung in europäischen Liindern richtet sich auf traumatisierte Überlebende von Folter unter den Flüchtlingen, denen nach Kriegen und Verfolgung durch repressive Regimes in Europa oder anderswo Asyl gewährt wird (z. B. das frühere Jugoslawien, Osteuropa, die Türkei, der mittlere Osten, Südost-Asien). Baker (1992) schätzte, daß zwischen 5 und 35% der 14 Mio. Flüchtlinge auf der Welt zumindest einmal Folter erlebt hat. Forschung zu Folter und deren Konsequenzen ist aus verschiedenen Gründen notwendig.
