  • Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET)

    Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) is an individualised, evidence-based intervention designed to treat people with PTSD and trauma disorders associated with multiple and complex trauma histories. NET aims to alleviate the emotional, cognitive and behavioural symptoms associated with trauma(s) by creating a chronological life history in order to integrate fragmented trauma memories into a coherent narrative. Adaptations of NET include a version for children, KIDNET (Schauer et al, 2017) and a treatment for those who have perpetrated violence (Narrative Exposure Therapy for Forensic Offender Rehabilitation, FORNET; Hecker et al, 2015).
