摘要：
This study presents a literature review of 22 studies published since 2004 that use linguistic procedures to evaluate narratives by persons who had suffered any traumatic event. The aim is to analyze the features of traumatic memories and, thus, how individuals construct and integrate their recall of what happened with other autobiographical memories. It uses cognitive theoretical models of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and their hypotheses about trauma memories as a framework. Findings reveal that trauma narratives are dominated by sensorial/perceptual and emotional details. The study of other narrative aspects (i.e., fragmentation, length, temporal context, and references to self) provides heterogeneous results. Results are discussed in light of the current state of PTSD research, exploring the principal hypotheses that have been proposed in cognitive theories to explain clinical findings.
