Psychological Growth After Trauma (eBook, PDF)

Insights from Phenomenological Research
Redaktion: Wharne, Simon

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Psychological Growth After Trauma is a guide to moving away from assumptions about trauma as a simple form of 'psychological damage.' Each chapter promotes an understanding of difficult experiences as learning opportunities that help us attune to the reality of existence and become more at ease with the truths that trigger our anxieties.

The book holds close to a phenomenological stance in which understanding emerges through experience and reflection. This is not a book that argues for a model that practitioners would be required to adopt and impose on their clients. Instead, Psychological Growth After Trauma brings insights and explorations together, allowing the reader to build their own framework for understanding.
