Summary
Narrative exposure therapy (NET) is a procedure that is used to treat traumatic stress or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is evidence-based and is recommended as a treatment by NICE. Out of all the narrative approaches, NET has the best evidence for effectiveness. The manualised procedure has a number of stages, psychoeducation, the lifeline and then narrative exposure to the traumatic elements of memory. Finally, a narrative testimony is produced that has the potential to be used as evidence. NET has been widely used with refugees, other victims of war, sexual abuse and similar traumatic problems. The focus of the treatment is telling the stories of the traumatic and stressful events in a person's life, focusing on the emotions and feelings experienced when recalling these difficult situations.
