ISQOLS SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP (SIG) Mental Health & Psychological Well-Being VIRTUAL WEBINAR: “Two Pathways to Post-Traumatic Growth: A Dissociation-Informed Model with Evidence from Female Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse” Presenter, Yael Lahav, PhD, Associate Professor at Tel Aviv University This webinar presents a dissociation-informed framework for understanding post-traumatic growth (PTG) following childhood sexual abuse (CSA). Although PTG is commonly conceptualized as a marker of resilience, meaning-making, and positive psychological transformation following adversity, empirical findings regarding its associations with psychological adjustment and mental health have remained notably inconsistent. While some studies link PTG to improved functioning and adaptation, others suggest that it may coexist with distress, psychopathology, and vulnerability. These inconsistencies raise fundamental questions regarding the nature of PTG and the psychological processes underlying reports of growth after trauma. |
