Although publicly rejected by most, torture remains widely used across the globe and its nature has shifted since the 1980s from the physical to the predominantly psychological. This pioneering text seeks to provide a new and much-needed definition of psychological torture. Drawing on a multi-disciplinary range of sources, it offers a broad conceptual model and explores the complex conditions that produce psychological torture. It introduces the powerful new concept of Torturing Environments. This shift towards focusing on environments rather than an infinite number of individual torture techniques represents an important change that points the way forward for future research in the field.
