Post traumatic growth in psychosis
Abstract

• Background and objective: People with psychosis report

experiences of highly traumatic events. Positive change or post-
traumatic growth (PTG) can occur as a result of traumatic
experiences. Yet there is limited attention on PTG in psychosis,
possibly due to the negative impact of psychotic symptoms on
functioning and quality of life. The aim of this project is to
facilitate new knowledge and experiential evidence that support
that psychosis is a vector of change and empowerment.

Conclusions

• Conclusions
• Individuals with psychosis can be supported to grow from
traumatic experiences. Clinicians can support PTG through the
provision of trauma-informed care that supports positively valued
identity changes. For researchers, the findings provide an
evidence-based theoretical framework for conceptualising PTG,
which can be validated through longitudinal cohort studies and
underpin the development of new clinical interventions.
