Eight trials compared CBT with supportive therapy, two compared CBT with EMDR and one trial each compared CBT with psychodynamic therapy, exposure plus supportive therapy with supportive therapy alone and narrative therapy plus CBT versus CBT alone. Seventeen trials used cognitive‐behavioural therapy (CBT) four used family therapy three required debriefing two trials each used eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), narrative therapy, psychoeducation and supportive therapy and one trial each provided exposure and CBT plus narrative therapy.

Participants were exposed to sexual abuse in 12 trials, to war or community violence in ten, to physical trauma and natural disaster in six each and to interpersonal violence in three participants had suffered a life‐threatening illness and had been physically abused or maltreated in one trial each.
