Spiritual Abuse can be Torture

Psychology of Torture
Any man, woman or child who has ever experienced spiritual and/or physical abuse, knows all too well the humiliation, mental stress, torment, and emotional devastation that occurs within the psyche and spirit. The deepest levels of one's sense of self is shattered and violated.

"Torture, whether physical or psychological or both, depends on complicated interpersonal relationships between those who torture, those tortured, bystanders and others. Torture also involves deeply personal processes in those tortured, in those who torture and in others. These interacting psychological relationships, processes and dynamics form the basis for the psychology of torture."
