Doctors work closely with pro bono lawyers to support political asylum applications and to reunite families of refugees and asylum seekers. Shame and anxiety may keep torture survivors from seeking asylum because. in order to gain asylum. applicants must recount their sufferings in a judicial setting. Thus. in order to secure their patients freedom to remain in the United States. doctors must help them as they relive their traumas. They give them courage to persevere and they sustain the hope that. once asylum is granted. surviving spouses and children can enter the United States.
