The Psychological Origins of Institutionalized Torture
Original research, including interviews with former Greek torturers, is supplemented by discussion of former studies, military records and other sources, to provide disturbing but valuable insights into the psychology of torture. The book describes parallel situations such as the rites of passage in pre-industrial societies and cults, elite Corps military training and college hazing, eventually concluding that the torturer is not born, but made. Of essential interest to academics and students interested in social psychology and related disciplines, this book will also be extremely valuable to policy-makers, professionals working in government, and all those interested in securing and promoting human rights.
Bourreaux et victimes
Pour lutter contre la torture, la dénonciation des violences infligées ne suffit pas. Il faut aider les survivants à retrouver une vie " normale ". Cela suppose, comme le montre Françoise Sironi, de pénétrer dans le monde mental des tortionnaires. Comment influence-t-on quelqu’un au point de le pousser à avouer, à révéler des informations, à trahir ? La violence physique n’explique pas tout. Quels sont donc les mécanismes psychologiques mis en œuvre par les tortionnaires ? Surtout, comment fabrique-t-on des bourreaux, comment place-t-on certaines personnes en position d’exercer de telles pressions ? Françoise Sironi est maître de conférences en psychologie clinique et en psychopathologie à l’université Paris-VIII. Elle a co-fondé le Centre Primo-Levi, spécialisé dans le soin des victimes de torture et de violences collectives. Elle est directrice du Centre d’ethnopsychiatrie Georges- Devereux, à l’université Paris-VIII.
