"What is wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?" (Sweeney et al., 2018)

Narrative Therapy

reshape emotional understanding and reconcile different aspects of oneself, facilitating a return to competency and empowerment (Bayes, 2023).

Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) for PTSD (Lely et al., 2019; McPherson, 2011)

often used in diverse contexts, including with children and refugees (Peltonen & Kangaslampi, 2019; Wright et al., 2020).

significantly reduce PTSD symptoms compared to other treatments, waitlists, or treatment as usual (McPherson, 2011).

Focuses on how storytelling helps us make sense of our lives, with trauma often dramatically altering our narratives (Bayes, 2023).

may vary across different cultural contexts (Lely et al., 2019)

active participation in storytelling (Bayes, 2023)

NET's use is limited but shows promise, with attention needed for managing distress and dysregulation (Sparrow & Fornells-Ambrojo, 2024).

identity and self-concept (Bayes, 2023)

survivors of mass violence (Lely et al., 2019)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

with other therapies like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for treating trauma in couples (Negash et al., 2018; Gonzalez-Vazquez et al., 2018).

8-stage protocol (Shapiro & Brown, 2019)

PTSD, complex trauma (Shapiro & Brown, 2019)

Limitation of Modality

use in group therapy (Negash et al., 2018)

Extended stabilization phase for complex trauma (Gonzalez-Vazquez et al., 2018)

Qualitative

Insights
personal and cultural contexts
In-depth understanding of trauma experiences
Methods
Thematic analysis of personal narratives and Critical interpretive synthesis

Lehrner & Yehuda (2018) used Critical Interpretive Synthesis (CIS), an inductive qualitative process, to generate new theory from reviewed literature of Preventing intergenerational trauma transmission. The aim was to synthesize and critically interpret literature on intervening in the intergenerational transmission of relational trauma within parent-infant relationships.

Interviews and case studies

Negash et al. (2018) used a qualitative case study to show the effectiveness of integrating EFT and EMDR in couples therapy.

Police Support Personnel (Huey et al., 2023) study used Semi-structured interviews to understand Vicarious trauma exposure and long-term effects

Quantitative

Measures
