Trauma Narrative Reconstruction and Recovery

With this research we are going to search for some particular ways and means of overcoming traumatic experience, i. e, narrative reconstructing. And we will evaluate the efficiency of those ways and means by case studies. A traumatic experience means the sudden collapse of the familar world. Victims of traumatic disasters can hardly understand things and surroundings; they are apt to lose the ability of moderate behavior. However, traumatic experiences do not necessarily lead to such disorders; that is, we can change them into the positive energy of development. Processes of narrative reconstruction help persons to have the composure of insight and reflection; trauma-sufferers can renew their understanding of situation while they give orders to their own experience of traumatic accidents. We should continually modify or upgrade the whole process of narrative reconstruction by giving a concrete form to it, including detail items of reprocessing and reordering the traumatic experience, according to the respective cases of disastrous accidents and their sufferers. The basic proceeding of narrative construction and reconstruction includes four steps of sequential order, as follows : ① data (= traumatic experience or its memory) collecting and its narrative reprocessing, ② mapping of narrative experience, ③ review of narrative composition, ④ searching for a new perspective of hope. With an overall explanation of these processes, in this essay, a case survey is shown as an evidence of the efficacy of narrative reconstruction for healing and reempowering of trauma sufferers.
