Abstract

|
The purpose of the study is to develop an intervention program, which is focused on some cognitive strategies to facilitate posttraumatic growth(PTG), and to examine the efficacy of it. In order to examine the effects of the intervention, two groups(treatment vs. waiting control) were lined up. The treatment group attended the intervention program for an 8-week period(8 sessions, 16 hours). The results showed that the intervention was confirmed that promoting PTG was significantly related to using the cognitive strategies. The intervention was significantly effective on increasing PTG and happiness as well as decreasing depression. The overall findings strongly support the efficacy of some cognitive strategies on promoting PTG following severe relational loss. Finally, the limitations of this study were discussed along with suggestions for further research.
