Torture rehabilitation has emerged as a field over the past several decades and much of the literature has focused on clinical interventions, related evaluation, and documentation of torture. Less discussed are organizational development initiatives that seek to strengthen organizational effectiveness in order to improve mental health outcomes for torture survivors. Based on applied experience in organizational development with torture rehabilitation programs in post-conflict contexts, the authors explore key organizational development needs in the field of torture rehabilitation, areas of future consideration for international agency donors, and additional future considerations for torture rehabilitation programs themselves. A case is made fo organizational development efforts that prioritize time for strategic thinking that includes participation from stakeholders across the organization's functions; staff care policies that prevent secondary trauma and promote wellbeing and retention; clarity surrounding organizational structure and roles; financial management systems that position the organization for growth and fund diversification strategies beyond the project-based international agency funding model. The work requires longterm commitment in terms of technical and subgrant assistance, including an ongoing process of assessing and adjusting approaches. The case examples included are representative of certain key challenges that may be addressed to some degree within the parameters of a similar project. While the work of torture rehabilitation is urgent by nature, the authors emphasize the need for practical approaches for the important (but not urgent) work of organizational development.
在过去几十年里，酷刑康复已成为一个领域，许多文献都聚焦于临床干预、相关评估以及酷刑记录。较少被讨论的是旨在增强组织效能以改善酷刑幸存者心理健康结果的组织发展举措。基于在冲突后背景下酷刑康复项目组织发展方面的应用经验，作者们探讨了酷刑康复领域关键的组织发展需求、国际机构捐助者未来需考虑的领域以及酷刑康复项目自身未来的其他考量因素。文章阐述了组织发展工作应优先安排时间进行战略思考，这包括组织各职能部门利益相关者的参与；制定防止二次创伤、促进福祉和留住员工的员工关怀政策；明确组织结构和职责；建立财务管理系统，使组织能够实现增长并制定超越基于项目的国际机构资助模式的资金多元化战略。这项工作在技术和小额赠款援助方面需要长期投入，包括一个持续评估和调整方法的过程。所包含的案例代表了某些关键挑战，在类似项目的范围内可能会在一定程度上得到解决。虽然酷刑康复工作本质上很紧急，但作者们强调，对于组织发展这项重要（但不紧急）的工作，需要采用切实可行的方法。
