  • Trauma survivors construct a narrative and cognitively process the event during this time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline narrative and cognitive approaches to trauma.
  • To illustrate how trauma narratives develop in survivors of a terror attack.
  • To propose a method for evaluating trauma recovery and guiding early interventions.
