The latest theory and research on understanding posttraumatic
stressand its treatment, providing evidence-based clinical
interventionsusing techniques drawn from positive psychology
It is known that exposure to stressful and traumatic events can
have severe and chronic psychological consequences. At the same
time-mindful of the suffering often caused by trauma-there is also
a growing body of evidence testifying to posttraumatic growth: the
positive psychological changes that can result for survivors of
trauma.
Blending these two areas of research and exploring the relevance of
positive psychology to trauma practice, "Trauma, Recovery, and
Growth: Positive Psychological Perspectives on Posttraumatic
Stress" provides clinicians with the resources they need to
implement positive psychology interventions in their trauma
treatment across a spectrum of?therapeutic perspectives, including
cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, and
group therapies.
Featuring contributions by internationally renowned researchers and
practitioners and edited by experts in the field of positive
psychology who have worked with survivors of trauma in the
facilitation of their resilience, recovery, and growth, this timely
book is divided into four parts:
- Toward an Integrative Positive Psychology of Posttraumatic
Experience
- Growth and Distress in Social, Community, and Interpersonal
Contexts
- Clinical Approaches and Therapeutic Experiences of Managing
Distress and Facilitating Growth
- Beyond the Stress-Growth Distinction: Issues at the Cutting
Edge of Theory and Practice"Trauma, Recovery, and Growth" explores
the role positive psychology can play in how clinical practitioners
treat and work with survivors of stressful and traumatic events and
offers an optimistic perspective in the treatment of those who
suffer posttraumatic stress following devastating events such as
terrorist attacks, childhood sexual abuse, cancer, and war.
