What doesn't kill us
Abstract
The field of psychological trauma is changing as researchers recognise that adversity does not always lead to a damaged and dysfunctional Life. Post-traumatic growth refers to how adversity can be a springboard to higher levels of psychological well-being. This article provides an overview of theory, practice and research. To what extent is post-traumatic stress the engine of post-traumatic growth? How can clinicians measure change? What can help people to thrive following adversity?
