Isi artikel

Psychological literature on trauma usually focuses on pathology that results from trauma and pays little attention to positive outcomes. This article presents a phenomenological inquiry into the experiences of a profoundly traumatized group of people - parents whose son or daughter has been murdered to assess if they were able to experience a positive outcome resulting from their trauma and to identify associated processes and resources. Of 65 parents who volunteered, 16 were selected to complete a questionnaire and were given in - depth, semistrucutred interviews. The interview data, analyzed qualitatively, afirm positive outcomes for these parents. Four processes - acceptance, finding meaning, personal decision making and reaching out to others in compassion and six resources - personal qualities, spiritually, continuing bond with the victim, social support, previous coping experience and self - care - facilitate a positive outcome.
