Resource-Oriented Work With Traumatized Patients

Abstract

Already since the period following World War 1 until the Vietnam War, criteria of traumatization aftermath of the Vietnam war, the criteria for traumatization have been identified and psychotherapeutic aids have been tested and validated. With its possibility of resource activation, Positive Psychotherapy has made another approach available for analyzing the trauma-triggering triggers, for the identification of competencies that are already being used and for the activation of existing, unused abilities, which leads the patient into a stabilizing process and integration of his/her experiences and thus, together with the cross-school psychotherapeutic interventions, promotes the process of individual recovery.
