Abstract

Forms of Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with chronical course hamper the psychosocial integration of refugees. We here report the successful treatment according to the approach of Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) of a severely affected 42-year-old refugee from Central Africa, facilitated by an inpatient care setting. The treatment course underlines the effectiveness and necessity of the intervention even in more complex cases. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart - New York.
