Can tragedy be good for us and how growth emerges
A column discusses post traumatic growth as the positive meaning some trauma survivors find. Psychologists Tedeschi and Calhoun summarize seven growth-generating principles, noting broad increases in resilience, spirituality, social support, and life appreciation after severe harms. Specific factors include changed world schemas, deliberate rumination, optimistic traits, and reordering life goals, with growth sometimes coexisting with distress.
