摘要
Search for meaning in the aftermath of a traumatic event has been recognized as an important task in the recovery process of victims. Several terms have been used to describe the process and outcome related to search for meaning, such as perceived positive and negative changes, perceived benefits and post-traumatic growth. This article has three objectives. First, it aims to present three conceptual models of search for meaning and related concepts. Second, it reviews empirical data on search for meaning amongst different types of traumatic events. Third, it exposes shortcomings and paths for future studies.
