Publisher: International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims (IRCT)

The International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims (IRCT) is an
independent, international health professional organisation that promotes
and supports the rehabilitation of torture victims and works for the
prevention of torture worldwide.
 
Based in Denmark, the IRCT works in collaboration with 138 members, which
include rehabilitation centres and programmes worldwide. The IRCT also works
in partnership with governments, human rights organisations, health
professional organisations and intergovernmental organisations.

Torture Journal seeks to enhance the understanding and cooperation in this
field through diverse approaches.
 
The publication is intended to provide a multidisciplinary forum for the
exchange of original research and systematic reviews among professionals
concerned with the biomedical, psychological and social interface of
torture.
 
The focus is not only on biomedicine, psychology and rehabilitation, but
also on epidemiology, social sciences and other disciplines related to
torture. The editors wish to encourage dialogue among experts whose diverse
cultures and experiences provide innovative and challenging knowledge to
existing practice and theories.

Torture is divided into sections of which the first part fulfils
international standards as a scientific journal and is dedicated to two to
four in-depth original analyses with focus on torture, using a biomedical,
health and human rights framework. Articles categorised as clinical trials,
research methodology papers, data based population examinations, critical or
explaining case descriptions may be preferred.
