Zusammenfassung
Die von Neuner et al. an von Kriegen und Naturkatastrophen betroffenen Populationen erprobte Narrative Expositionstherapie (NET) wird den Forschungsergebnissen anderer Autoren und von diesen entwickelten Interventionsmethoden gegenübergestellt. Aus diesem Vergleich ergeben sich Bedenken bezüglich der Kultursensivität der von Neuner eingesetzten diagnostischen Messinstrumente, des einseitigen Fokus auf PTSD, der den komplexen Traumafolgestörungen und umfassenden psychosozialen Problemen der Betroffenen nicht ausreichend Rechnung trägt. Die aktuell verfügbaren Daten zeigen derzeit noch keinen überzeugenden Beleg für die Wirksamkeit der NET oder dass sie anderen Inventionsmethoden überlegen ist.
Abstract
Narrative exposure therapy (NET) applied by Neuner et al. on populations affected by war and natural disaster is compared to research data and intervention strategies developed by others. Questions are raised about the cultural sensitivity of Neuner's diagnostic instruments, the reductionist focus on PTSD which does not sufficiently take into account the complex after effects of trauma and the comprehensive psychosocial needs of affected populations. Currently available data do not yet provide convincing evidence that NET is effective or superior to other intervention strategies.
