In this book, Calhoun and Tedeschi construct the first systematic
framework for clinical efforts to enhance the processes they sum up
as posttraumatic growth.
Posttraumatic growth is the phenomenon of positive change through
struggle with even the most horrible sets of circumstances. People
who experience it tend to describe three general types of change:
realistically stronger feelings of vulnerability that are
nonetheless accompanied by stronger feelings of personal
resilience, closer and deeper relationships with others, and a
stronger sense of spirituality.
Posttraumatic growth has only recently become an important focus of
interest for researchers and practitioners. Drawing on a burgeoning
professional literature as well as on their own extensive clinical
experience, the authors present strategies for helping clients
effect all three types of positive change - strategies that have
been tested in a variety of groups facing a variety of crises and
traumas. Their concise yet comprehensive practical guide will be
welcomed by all those who counsel persons grappling with the worst
life has to offer.
