    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    The new edition of Posttraumatic Growth: Theory, Research, and Applications includes the latest developments in the science of posttraumatic growth, including responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, epigenetics, and new interventions to facilitate growth after trauma.


    The book provides a wide range of answers to questions about the theory behind posttraumatic growth (PTG), its synthesis and contrast with other theories and models, and its applications in diverse settings. Posttraumatic Growth starts with an overview of the history, components, and outcomes of PTG. Next, chapters review quantitative, qualitative, and cross-cultural research on PTG, including in relation to cognitive function, identity formation, cross-national and gender differences, and similarities and differences between adults and children. The final section shows readers how to facilitate optimal outcomes with PTG at the level of the individual, the group, the community, and society.



    ?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
