Torture has severe mental health effects, especially in terms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. However, there is still a lack of empirical treatment studies. The present paper presents data on 16 torture survivors receiving 10 sessions of narrative exposure therapy (NET). Symptoms of PTSD and depression, assessed by Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD), decreased significantly from pre-treatment to 6-month follow-up, with Cohen's d effect sizes of 1.16 and 0.84, respectively. Although treatment gains were moderate, further research on evidence-based treatments for PTSD and depression in refugee torture survivors is warranted.
酷刑对心理健康有严重影响，尤其是创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）和抑郁。然而，目前仍缺乏实证治疗研究。本文介绍了 16 名接受 10 次叙事暴露疗法（NET）的酷刑幸存者的数据。创伤后应激障碍和抑郁症状，通过临床医生管理 PTSD 量表（CAPS）和汉密尔顿抑郁量表（HRSD）评估，从治疗前到 6 个月随访显著降低，Cohen's d 效应大小分别为 1.16 和 0.84。尽管治疗效果中等，但仍需要进一步研究难民酷刑幸存者 PTSD 和抑郁的循证治疗方法。
