Treating trauma and aggression with narrative exposure therapy in former child and adult soldiers: A randomized controlled trial in Eastern DR Congo.

Conclusion: FORNET is a compact and scalable psychotherapeutic intervention that effectively reduces current aggressive behavior including physical abuse against children, intimate partner violence (IPV), and community violence. FORNET further decreases appetitive aggression, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and other clinical and social problems that commonly hinder demobilization, reintegration, and post-conflict peacebuilding.
