Abstract

The war in Columbia is the source of permanent and widespread violence, of which the civilian population is the main victim. Medical-psychological teams from Médecins Sans Frontières France worked in Tolima, a region particularly affected by the conflict, between 2001 and 2008, and were able to study the complexity of the forms of violence and their consequences. While the consequences for individuals, analysed in part one, are devastating, the impact of the conflict on society and families provides a better understanding of this society and its generalised violence.
