Posttraumatic growth is an area in which investigations are now
being undertaken in many different parts of the world. The view
that individuals can be changed--sometimes in radically good
ways--by their struggle with trauma is ancient and widespread.
However, the systematic focus by scholars and clinicians on the
possibilities for growth from the struggle with crisis is
relatively recent. There are now a growing number of studies and
scholarly papers on the antecedents, correlates, and consequences
of posttraumatic growth, and there are also theoretical models that
can help guide the research further. It is clear, however, that
this phenomenon is not yet well understood. The Handbook of
Posttraumatic Growth: Research and Practice provides both
clinicians and researchers with a comprehensive and up-to-date view
of what has been done so far. In addition, it uses the foundations
of what has been done to provide suggestions for the next useful
steps to take in understanding posttraumatic growth. The book
offers contributions of important and influential scholars
representing a wide array of perspectives of posttraumatic growth.
This volume serves as an impetus for additional work, both in the
academic aspects and in the possibilities for clinical applications
of posttraumatic growth. This Handbook will appeal to students,
practitioners, and researchers working in a broad array of
disciplines and human services.
