✦ Synopsis

This paper presents a coding system developed to explore changes in narratives of rape during therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) involving repeated reliving and recounting of the trauma. Relationships between narrative categories hypothesized to be affected by the treatment and treatment outcome were also examined. As hypothesized narrative length increased fiom pre-to post-treatment, percentage of actions and dialogue decreased and percentage of thoughts and feelings increased particularly thoughts reflecting attempts to organize the trauma memoy. Also as expected increase in organized thoughts was correlated negatively with depression. while indices of fragmentation did not significant3) decrease during therapy, the hypothesized correlation between decrease in fragmentation and reduction in trauma-related symptoms was detected
