This session introduces the concept of posttraumatic growth (PTG), that is, how people report personal transformations in the aftermath of traumatic events. These growth experiences are relatively common, but often ignored in standard trauma theory and practice due to relatively few clinicians, peer support personnel, and clients fully understanding the concept. This knowledge-based session will help specialists integrate the PTG model into their trauma intervention strategies and practice. Much of the session will be devoted to the conceptual and theoretical development of PTG over the past 20 years, and a review of research on PTG in various groups.
