Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Trauma Studies
  • Clinical Intervention

Background:

  • Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant trauma leading to depression, PTSD, complex PTSD (CPTSD), and borderline symptoms.
  • Effective therapeutic interventions are crucial for survivors of IPV.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of cognitive-narrative therapy (CNT) for women with a history of IPV.
  • To assess CNT's impact on depression, PTSD, CPTSD, and borderline symptoms.

Main Methods:

  • A longitudinal randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving 19 women survivors of IPV.
  • Participants were allocated to either a control or a four-session manualized CNT group.
  • Outcome measures included standardized questionnaires and diagnostic interviews for mental health conditions.

Main Results:

  • No statistically significant group differences were observed at baseline or follow-up.
  • Positive effect sizes were noted for depression, PTSD, and borderline symptoms, and some CPTSD dimensions.
  • A negative effect size was found for total CPTSD scores.

Conclusions:

  • Cognitive-narrative therapy demonstrates potential as an effective treatment for depression, PTSD, and borderline symptoms in IPV survivors.
  • CNT may serve as a valuable therapeutic tool for addressing the psychological sequelae of IPV.
