AB The objective is to test the efficacy of cognitive-narrative therapy in the treatment of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex posttraumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) and borderline symptoms on a sample of women who suffered from intimate partner violence (IPV). Trial design is a longitudinal randomized controlled trial with a sample of 19 battered women allocated in two groups, a control group and treatment group, assessed twice at baseline before intervention, and at follow-up. The outcome measures were the Patient Health Questionnaire, International Trauma Questionnaire, PTSD and CPTSD Diagnostic Interview Schedule for International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-11, Conjugal Violence Exposure Scale (CVES), Life Events Checklist and Intervention Program Satisfaction Assessment Instrument. The treatment group received a four-session cognitive-narrative manualized intervention. There were no statistically significant differences between groups at baseline and follow-up, however, positive effect sizes ranging between 0.04 and 0.43 were found in depression, PTSD, and borderline, as well in some CPTSD dimensions when analyzing baseline-follow-up deltas between groups. There was also a negative effect size of ?0.28 in the CPTSD total. This intervention is effective in the treatment of depression, PTSD and borderline and is an important tool in the treatment of these disorders.
