In recent years, new therapeutic approaches have been proposed for the treatment of complex trauma in populations such as refugees and asylum seekers that try to adapt to the characteris-tics and specific circumstances of these populations, in particular to their difficulties of access to psychological treatment and the accumulation of traumatic events. Among them figure the Narrative Exposure Therapy (TEN), as well as its versions, named STAIR, for people who have suffered adversity in childhood, and FORNET, for military population with high levels of ag-gressiveness. The objective of this work is to carry out a systematic review of studies that assess the effectiveness of TEN and its two versions for the treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in adults. The review includes a total of 21 studies published between 2000 and 2018. The results show that TEN and its modalities are effective in reducing post-traumatic symptoma-tology in a brief set of sessions. The results are less conclusive regarding the decrease in depressive symptoms. In addition, drop-out rates for treatment are low. The clinical implications of the results are discussed.
