Narrative Exposure Therapy: A Short-Term Treatment for Traumatic Stress DisordersNew edition of the Narrative Exposure Therapy manual, an effective, short-term, culturally universal intervention for trauma victims - including the latest insights and new treatments for dissociation and social pain. Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) is a successful and culturally universal intervention for the treatment of survivors of multiple and severe traumatic events, such as organized violence, torture, war, rape, and childhood abuse. Field tests in contexts of ongoing adversity and disaster areas, as well as controlled trials in various countries, have shown that three to six sessions can be sufficient to provide considerable relief. |

An exceptionally clear and well written book about a scientifically validated treatment strategy for PTSD. The authors carefully review the theoretical background focusing on the neurobiology of traumatic memories. The explanation of the technique is clear and supplemented by specific examples. They discuss potential problems and how to approach them. Overall, it is one of the best therapy manuals I have seen.
I have no criticisms of the text.
