This comprehensive book provides an updated understanding of posttraumatic growth and offers a practical framework for clinicians. The book provides a user-friendly and adaptable approach that can be customized to meet the specific needs of individual clients and therapeutic approaches.

Posttraumatic Growth in Clinical Practice is not just their most important book on the topic - it’s an essential read for anyone committed to healing from trauma.
Dr. Charles R. Figley

From the authors who pioneered the concept of posttraumatic growth comes Posttraumatic Growth in Clinical Practice, a book that brings the study of growth after trauma into the twenty-first century. Clinicians will find a framework that’s easy to use and flexible enough to be tailored to the needs of particular clients and specific therapeutic approaches. And, because it utilizes a model of relating described as “expert companionship,” clinicians learn how to become most empathically effective in helping a variety of trauma survivors.

Clinicians will come away from this book having learned how to assess posttraumatic growth, and how to address it in treatment, and they’ll also have a basic grasp of the ways the changes they’re promoting will be received in various cultural contexts. Case examples show how utilizing a process developed from an empirically-based model of posttraumatic growth can promote important personal changes in the aftermath of traumatic events.
