Jon Adler published in American Psychologist

Jon’s article, “Beyond “Post,” “Traumatic,” “Growth,” and Prediction in Research on Posttraumatic Growth,” was published in American Psychologist. The high-profile publication is the only journal in psychology that is sent to all members of the American Psychological Association, which consists of over 150,000 scientists, educators, clinicians, consultants, and students. Along with his co-author, Ted Schwaba, they argue that post-traumatic growth continues to be a captivating topic but that our understanding of every piece of it needs rethinking.
