A culturally universal intervention for adult survivors of organized violence, war, conflict, torture, man-made and natural disasters, civil trauma as well as childhood sexual/physical abuse, mistreatment and neglect. Given its focus on the autobiographical elaboration of traumatic experiences, this therapy is particularly suited for populations affected by multiple and continuous traumatic experiences, such as organized violence, torture, war, rape, and childhood abuse. It has been developed as a standardized short-term approach. It is designed so that three to six sessions should be sufficient to provide considerable relief and reinstate individual functioning, even for patients/clients who suffer from severe and chronic traumatization in areas of on-going adversity and recent disasters. Beyond its focus on healing the wounds of trauma, the therapy aims to account for the human rights abuses suffered by survivors. There are newly developed treatment modules for the rehabilitation of traumatized children (KIDNET), as well as Forensic Offenders (FORNET ) as well as a module on the theory and practical management of dissociation.
