“…The protocol of HOPE has been detailed elsewhere (Johnson et al, 2016), including two case examples (Johnson & Ceroni, 2020; Johnson et al, in press). HOPE is a flexible module-based treatment where the ordering of the modules and the emphasis placed on each module are determined by client goals and needs.…”

The current study is a randomized controlled trial comparing HOPE ( Helping to Overcome PTSD through Empowerment) to an adapted version of present-centered therapy (PCT+) in residents of domestic violence shelters with posttraumatic stress disorder from intimate partner violence. HOPE is a cognitive-behavioral treatment that adopts an empowerment approach. PCT is an attention-matched control condition frequently used in posttraumatic stress disorder treatment research. PCT+ was adapted to include safety planning. We collected data from 172 women from one of six shelters, randomizing participants to receive either HOPE or PCT+. Participants in both treatments received up to 16 sessions during shelter and the first 3 months post-shelter. Follow-up assessments occurred at post-shelter, post-treatment, and 6- and 12-months post-treatment. Results of multivariate models found that both HOPE and PCT+ were associated with significant and large reductions in intimate partner violence–related posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms. Further, both treatments resulted in significant small to medium effects on intimate partner violence, depression, empowerment, posttraumatic cognitions, and health-related quality of life. Results suggest that both HOPE and PCT+ are viable and efficacious treatments of intimate partner violence–related posttraumatic stress disorder in women residing in shelters. As PCT+ has the potential to be delivered by paraprofessionals and individuals without mental health expertise, PCT+ may be the preferred treatment model for shelters.

“…Similarly, Written Exposure Therapy (WET) and other types of emotional writing protocols included in this analysis help the patient work through the narrative aspects of their traumatic experience to make sense of incongruent information ( Thompson-Hollands et al, 2019 ). These narrative-aspects can be juxtaposed with interventions that failed to meet our definition of NBIs, such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which are notably more directive in nature and limited to challenging existing beliefs (e.g., stuck points in CPT; cognitive distortions or negative thinking in CBT; Resick, 1992 ; Resick and Schnicke, 1992 , 1993 ; Johnson and Ceroni, 2020 ), void of explicitly helping the patient to restructure their inner-monologue into a more positive story through a meaning-making process. As a point of comparison, Asmundson et al (2018) conducted a robust meta-analysis of the efficacy of CPT in PTSD symptom reduction, which showed a positive effect (mean Hedges’ g = 1.24), albeit smaller than the effect of NBIs presented in this study.…”

IntroductionThe aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the efficacy of narrative-based interventions (NBIs) for individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Investigating the efficacy of NBIs should yield insight on autobiographical memory (AM) phenomena implicated in PTSD onset and recovery, leading to improved intervention protocols. Furthermore, by analyzing how NBIs influence maladaptive AM distortions, we hope to shed light on the theorized narrative architecture of AM more generally.MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted according to PRISMA and Cochrane guidelines in MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsychINFO, and PubMed. Additional studies were then also identified from the reference lists of other relevant literature and considered for inclusion. Studies were then evaluated for adherence to the inclusion/exclusion criteria and assessed for risk of bias. Various meta-analyses were performed on included studies to understand how NBIs may or may not influence the overall effect size of treatment.ResultsThe results of the meta-analysis of 35 studies, involving 2,596 participants, suggest that NBIs are a viable and effective treatment option for PTSD, yielding a statistically significant within-group effect size and decrease in PTSD symptomatology at both post-treatment [g = 1.73, 95% CI (1.23–2.22)] and 3–9 month follow-up assessments [g = 2.33, 95% CI (1.41–3.26)]. Furthermore, the difference in effect sizes between NBIs compared to active and waitlist controls was statistically significant, suggesting that NBIs are superior. Sub-analyses showed that NET provided a stronger effect size than FORNET, which may be due to the nature of the traumatic event itself and not the treatment protocol. While evidence of small study and publication bias was present, a weight-function model and trim-and-fill method suggested it was not influencing the overall results.DiscussionThis meta-analysis presents strong evidence supporting the use of NBIs in the treatment of PTSD. Clear similarities can be identified between NBIs included in this analysis that make them distinct from non-NBI interventions, which are reviewed in the discussion. Controlled comparisons between NBIs and non-NBIs would help to further understand AM mechanisms of action implicated in recovery and how various interventions facilitate them. Future research should also aim to elucidate the full range of AM impairment in individuals with PTSD to gain insight on how other memory capabilities, such as the ability to mentally simulate the future, are implicated in the pathogenesis of PTSD.
