ABSTRACT = {Flashback, related to the traumatic event, is a prominent symptom of 
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The dual representation theory (DRT) of 
PTSD emphasizes that the weakened contextual representation (C-rep), the 
enhanced sensory representation (S-rep) and the loss of connection between C-rep 
and S-rep play an important role in the formation and retrieval of flashback. DRT 
proposes that cognitive intervention tasks which inhibit S-rep or enhance C-rep 
can reduce flashbacks. And many studies have proved this theoretical hypothesis. 
In the future, simulation intervention studies should continue to strengthen, some 
clinical application studies should also be appropriately carried out. Besides, 
future researchers should innovate the ideas of intervention, focus on designing
new cognitive intervention tasks.},
