56 treatment, and traumatic violence such as torture before and after the main event in the prison. Keeping women naked in the hospital may be considered a technique of psychological torture. The symptoms of a person with disorders due to posttraumatic stress caused by torture are: the inability to function within a family, as well as to concentrate and sleep adequately; the complete destruction of the biological functions of the brain and the body; the destruction of sleep patterns, nightmares; and problems at work. For a person that has been tortured these consequences could turn into something permanent if the person does not receive an adequate treatment. The severe impact on the next of kin can become a second trauma. Besides, kids that are exposed to the severe trauma of their parents suffer long-term consequences. With regard to rehabilitation, social implications, especially stigma and feelings of humiliation and guilt, must be taken into account. The suffering of the next of kin must be dealt with in an adequate and sustainable manner through interventions in the community and society. If the person has been wrongfully accused of something and he is blamed for what has happened it is going to be impossible for them to function once again in their environment. He referred to the different types of symbolic reparations, and he made emphasis on the fact that each victim must be treated individually. First a diagnosis of the victim must be made because he could be very traumatized. An expert must perform an individual evaluation, and in many cases the evaluation has to be multidisciplinary. The evaluation must help prepare a rehabilitation plan, which will allow the person to regain control of their life. The victims must be convinced to seek help, and it is necessary that there be access to those treatments and to standards for individual diagnosis in the community. Community orientation measures must be developed and the next of kin must be attended as well, since many of them have been severely traumatized and they suffer along with the survivor. In some cases the trauma is so severe that it is almost impossible to treat. He indicated that the tension suffered by the mother could have great impact on the development and life of a child, especially if this tension occurs in the last three months of the pregnancy. The beatings on the soles of the feet “create a very long-lasting and permanent pain, that is very difficult to treat,” and “they affect the entire nervous system [since t]he soles of the feet have a high density of nervous sensors.” The treatment given to the prisoners “was definitely not normal in containing prisoners.” The elimination of stimuli, such as lack of light, prohibition of exercise, music, and reading has “psychological and biological effects.” The lack of “light [for] a long period of time […] causes depression[, …] it causes a pretty strong damage on the psychological system and on the glands [of the] brain, [as well as effects] on the body’s hormonal structures.” These types of conditions “may […] activate other psychological effect [or] affect a vulnerable point [of some inmate, and] then this could lead to long-term problems, including chronicle psychosis, among others.” In this case a systematical psychological torture was employed.
