Violentando y rehabilitando masculinidades de izquierda: La tortura sexual contra hombres y la terapia psicológica en las organizaciones de derechos humanos durante la dictadura de Pinochet, 1970s-1980s

Abstract

Beginning in the mid-1970s in Chile, several human rights organizations incorporated psychological therapy as part of the services they offered to people affected by state violence. This article explores how preconceived ideas about gender, sexuality and politics influenced the ways in which male ex political prisoners spoke about their experiences, as well as how mental health professionals helped them reconstruct their personal and political subjectivities.
