Abstract
- A substantial number of refugees arriving in Australia are the victims of torture and other forms of organised violence. In this article, the authors provide an overview of the broad range of physical and emotional disabilities that arise from these experiences, examine the special difficulties in identifying and assessing patients at the primary health care level, and offer an approach to counselling for survivors and their families.
