Psychological Counseling and Developing Resilience for Young People with Psychological Trauma in Childhood or Adolescence
Journal Title: Journal of Experiential Psychotherapy - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: A family resilience approach aims to identify and fortify key interactional processes that enable families to withstand and rebound from disruptive life challenges. Objectives: The main objectives of study were to identify the level of development of social and emotional feelings of loneliness felt by young people with psychological traumas in childhood and to investigate a correlation between the level of social and emotional loneliness and the dependence on others felt by young people with psychological traumas in childhood. Methods: The research was based on four surveys: Self-Determination Scale (SDS; Sheldon & Deci, 1996), Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults (SELSA; Di Tommaso & Spinner, 1993), Interpersonal Dependency Inventory (Hirschfield, Klerman, Gough, Barrett, Korchin & Chodoff, 1977) and Child Abuse and Trauma Scale (CATS; Sanders & Becker- Lausen, 1995). To validate the two hypothesis we have used correlations between characteristics of 30 people aged between 19 and 42 years. Conclusions: Resilience is the result of interactions between individual, family and environment. Resilience and posttraumatic growth confirm the development of a potential cure for the persons that agree to participate in a program of counseling and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy. These people must develop skills of resilience and self-determination through counseling techniques and cognitive behavioral psychotherapy.
