Tedeschi, R: Posttraumatic Growth Theory, Research, and Applications

"It has been over twenty years since the term 'posttraumatic growth' was coined by Richard Tedeschi and Lawrence Calhoun. In that time, these authors' pioneering and inspirational work has helped posttraumatic growth become a flagship theme of positive psychology, one that has garnered interest from personality, social, and clinical psychologists across the world. This is a milestone book written by the leaders in the field, and it will surely set the agenda for theory, research, and practice for the next twenty years. It is a must read for all students, academics, and practitioners interested in the study of traumatic stress and how to help people overcome adversity."
Stephen Joseph, PhD, author of What Doesn't Kill Us: The New Psychology of Posttraumatic Growth

"This new book is a plentiful harvest of more than twenty years of international research and applied practice on posttraumatic growth. The two world-leading originators of the concept are joined by the two leading experts in international research on posttraumatic growth. What a stupendous work of diligence and scholarship!"
Andreas Maercker, PhD MD, chair and professor of psychology, Division of Psychopathology and Clinical Intervention, University of Zurich

"Posttraumatic Growth is the definitive and up to date guide on trauma and positive change written by the world's leading researchers on the subject. The remarkable depth and global reach of the book shows just how far Richard Tedeschi and Lawrence Calhoun's pioneering work has come in just a few decades. Posttraumatic Growth is required reading for anyone hoping to understand this fundamental human response to struggle."
Jim Rendon, author of Upside: The New Science of Post-Traumatic Growth
