Abstract:
Nursing educators realize the need to teach their students about ethics and about their future confrontations with torture. The question however is how? Differences abound on the methods. Below is a thought-provoking approach taken by Christiane Dind, derived from her increasing awareness of the phenomenon of torture as a member of Amnesty International's Health Professional Group and from her personal soul-searching into why she, as a nurse, could tolerate and not question the daily routine "torture" situations in her professional setting.
