Chile is in a position of recuperation, healing and reconstruction.
After Pinochet s regime in the seventies, there is much to change. The current President, Eduardo Frei, discusses his view of human rights and social development in his address on the 26 th of June 1999. Violence impacted every single family, and President Frei s desire is to help psychoanalytical healing by punishing the offenders and administering justice. He describes these abuses in his speech. Besides the statistics of violence, the mere act of a violation of human rights left a profound foot-print in the nation s body and spirit.
