With more than 20 years of professional experience, Pau Perez-Sales played a pivotal part in Latin America's Psychology of Liberation movement, lived and worked in Nicaragua, Guatemala, Mexico, El Salvador, Chile and Colombia working with grassroots organisation authoring a vast production of books and papers[27][28][29][30][31] related to forced-dissapearance[32], exhumation of mass graves[33] and truth and reparation policies[34].
