Resumen
En los últimos años se han planteado nuevos acercamientos terapéuticos para el tra-tamiento del trauma complejo en poblaciones como los refugiados y solicitantes de asilo, que intentan adaptarse a las características y circunstancias específicas de estas poblaciones, en particular a la dificultad de accesibilidad a un tratamiento psicológico y a la acumulación de acontecimientos traumáticos. Entre ellos figura la Terapia de Exposición Narrativa (TEN), así como sus versiones, STAIR para personas que han sufrido adversidades en la infancia, y FORNET para población militar con altos niveles de agresividad. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo realizar una revisión sistemática de estudios que valoren la eficacia de la TEN y sus dos versiones para el tratamiento del Trastorno de Estrés Postraumático (TEPT) en adultos. La revisión recoge un total de 21 estudios publicados entre 2000 y 2018. Los resultados muestran que la TEN y sus diferentes modalidades son eficaces para disminuir la sintomato-logía postraumática en un conjunto breve de sesiones. Los resultados son menos concluyentes respecto a la disminución de la sintomatología depresiva. Además, las tasas de abandono del tratamiento son bajas. Se discuten las implicaciones clínicas de los resultados.
