This is a comprehensive, practical, and readable work that should be at hand for any mental health clinician, pastoral care professional, or student preparing for these professions."
—J. Shep Jeffreys, EdD, FT, author of Helping Grieving People—When Tears Are Not Enough: A Handbook for Care Providers, Second Edition

A guide for helping your clients overcome negative events, based on the latest research on posttraumatic growth

Drawing on the growing empirical and theoretical material on posttraumatic growth—an outgrowth of the positive psychology movement—Primer on Posttraumatic Growth provides insight, depth, and treatment recommendations for both the clinicians who work with those who have experienced dramatic negative events in their lives and for other professionals who support victims of trauma and extreme stress.

  • The connections between meaning and growth
  • The impact of cognitive processing on posttraumatic growth
  • Positive emotion and posttraumatic growth
  • Posttraumatic growth and an "open" personality
  • The human drive to be in positive and important interpersonal relationships
  • Forgiveness: can it be extended towards all areas of posttraumatic growth?
  • Posttraumatic growth and religious and spiritual variables
  • Wisdom and posttraumatic growth
