Posttraumatic growth (PTG): Theory, research and practice

Dr. Dan Sharon

This course is designed to help students become informed about the emerging field of   positive post-trauma transformation. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition that  in addition to the well-documented negative effects, the encounter with highly stressful events such as life threatening diseases, accidents, abuse, wars and natural disasters, has the potential for positive consequences and that a significant proportion of trauma survivors also report benefits and growth. This course offers students the opportunity to learn about theoretical models, empirical findings and practice implications of such growth in individuals, families and communities in diverse cultural contexts.
