This workshop targeted at (post-)doctoral students from disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, health sciences, medicine will discuss a number of central philosophical issues and problems generated by research into post-traumatic growth. These include (i) how we should understand the growth in PTG; (ii) how we should understand the relation between adversity/suffering and growth; and (iii) how we can address ethical concerns around PTG.
