This qualitative study focuses on describing and illuminating the essential features of the lived experience of Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) and transformation in ten individuals who have experienced numerous types of traumatic events. In the literature, the concept of PTG refers to positive psychological change experienced as a result of the struggle with highly challenging life circumstances of a seismic nature that may at times coexist with significant psychological distress. As distinct from resilience, the term Posttraumatic Growth makes clear that persons experiencing this phenomenon have grown beyond their previous level of psychological functioning. Posttraumatic Growth is recognized in three broad categories of change, including a changed perception of self, changes in relationships with others, and philosophy of life/spiritual transformations. One-on-one semi-structured interviews were conducted with the ten participants. The investigator used van Manen's phenomenological method to guide the formulation of open-ended questions as well as the interview process, coding and analysis of the transcripts. The four existentials of lived space, lived time, lived body, and lived relations, along with familiarity with the concept of PTG, served to clarify and inform the meaning of the experiences of the ten trauma survivors interviewed. Three independent raters were used throughout the process of coding and analysis of the transcripts in order to monitor the influence of researcher subjectivity. Six essential categorical themes were formulated as an outcome of the consensual coding process, ultimately yielding ten illustrated Individual Psychological Structures of Posttraumatic Growth. The theoretical model of the General Psychological Structure of Posttraumatic Growth that emerged from both inter-and intra-individual comparisons is presented. The results in this qualitative study have replicated the original quantitatively derived factors involved in PTG. The proposed model presented here, represents PTG as an emergent, complex and evolving process that arises in response to a traumatic event and involves the interaction of the neurological, cognitive, and affective systems. Three additional essential elements facilitative of the process of PTG are identified and discussed: effortful coping (will, intention volition), narrative coherence, and wisdom. The theoretical, practical, and clinical implications of the results are discussed and related to clinical practice and research.
