PSY-5714: Exploration of Post Traumatic Growth

Recently the field of trauma psychology has directed research and attention beyond recovering from PTSD and traumatic experiences to the possibility of post-traumatic growth. Researchers have investigated not only what makes people resilient but what characteristics and conditions enable people to come through healing and end up wiser, stronger, more fulfilled, and with a deeper meaning to their lives than they had before trauma event. This course provides an overview of the theory and research of individuals’ positive reactions to trauma–often called trauma transformation, self-reinvention, positive life change, posttraumatic growth (PTG), stress-related growth (SRG) or self-transcendence.
