Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET)

Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) is a universally applicable, human-rights focused, evidence-based treatment for child-, adolescent- and adult survivors of multiple and complex trauma. Within a life-span approach, NET enables the integration of traumatic memories into the autobiographical context, activates the person’s resources, and allows meaning-making and corrective relationship experiences. NET is distinct from other treatments in its explicit focus on recognising and creating a testimony of what happened in a way that serves to recapture the patient’s self-respect and acknowledges the abuse of their human rights that has taken place. There are various efficacious modules of Narrative Exposure Therapy: ‘NET’ in its classic, universal form, ‘KIDNET’ which builds on classic NET with an adaptation for children and youth, FORNET with a special focus on perpetrating clients suffering from Appetitive Aggression, NETfacts a community-based module, developed for the rehabilitation of entire communities that have been struck by trauma.
