Description

The idea of growth out of trauma is not a new one and has been recognised throughout history. The theory of ‘posttraumatic growth’ was first described in 1995 by Richard Tedeschi & Lawrence Calhoun, and numerous studies have explored the process subsequently. This presentation explores the theory, some of the history, the domains of PTG, and a range of research across different experiences of trauma. Given the impact of COVID-19 across the globe, a focus on the potential for posttraumatic growth seems particularly relevant.
