This is an exploration of state violence which shows how the psychological and social trauma caused by violations of basic rights can be healed. The authors develop a model of trauma and healing under state terrorism based on their fieldwork with the Chilean human rights movement. It is characterized by a powerful spirit of survivor resilience and a "healing" approach which in both theory and practice understands individual suffering in a political perspective.
