Résumé
People who experience major life crises often report post-traumatic stress. However, the literature suggests that traumatic experiences can also be "catalysts" for positive change (i.e., post-traumatic growth; PTG). PTG can include improved relationships, new possibilities for one's life, a greater appreciation for life, a greater sense of personal strength, and spiritual development. Furthermore, it has been suggested that PTG may decrease feelings of distress following exposure to trauma. While a large number of factors may help promote PTG, others may impede the development of growth (e.g., attachment style). These factors constitute key aspects for clinicians working with victims of trauma. Thus, this review aims to present these hindering factors in order to provide guidance for trauma psychologists and future research.
