Description
Reconstructing Meaning After Trauma: Theory, Research, and Practice provides clinicians with practical information on how to help clients who have experienced traumas or other life disruptions. The book explores the construction of meaning in therapeutic work, including diverse mechanisms of clinical change and positive-promoting processes.
It covers identifiable treatments and specific lines of research that can assist clients in developing new meaning, such as posttraumatic growth following traumatic events like sexual assault, diagnosis, or cancer, and finding benefit in the face of loss, whether it's health loss or the loss of a loved one.
This book offers valuable insights into assisting clients in creating new meaning after trauma, making it a useful resource for clinicians working with clients who have experienced life disruptions.
