Narrative Exposure Therapy (eBook, PDF)

A Short-Term Treatment for Traumatic Stress Disorders

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Second edition of the Narrative Exposure Therapy manual, an effective, short-term, culturally universal intervention for trauma victims - including the insights and 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. This edition of the clearly structured and easy-to-follow NET manual includes insights and treatments for dissociation and social pain. The first part of the book describes the theoretical background. The second part shows how to use the NET approach step by step, with practical advice and tools, including how to deal with special issues (such as dealing with challenging moments, defense mechanisms for the therapist, and ethical issues). Appendices include an informed consent form, and checklists for the therapist.
