The present chapter explores the complexities of coping in the aftermath of acid attack trauma through the framework of Narrative Identity Theory. Traumatic events frequently split the life of individuals into two parts: ‘before’ and ‘after’. In the aftermath of the trauma, the survivors struggle to regain a sense of self and continuity. They often construct personal narratives to help them make sense of their traumatic experience. These coping narratives can be adaptive (redemptive narratives) or maladaptive (contamination narratives) and are moulded by a confluence of internal and external factors. Effective coping is often rooted in redemptive narratives that are marked by the themes such as emotion-focused coping, seizing control, and redemptive meaning-making. Conversely, ineffective coping is rooted in contamination narratives that are characterized by themes such as self-blame, social withdrawal, and psychological disengagement. Survivors, in their struggle to regain a sense of self and continuity, construct personal narratives that help them make meaning of their traumatic experience. Through its focus on coping, the present chapter serves to identify the ways in which self-narrated life stories of the survivors can promote healing or consolidate trauma.
