TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - An interpretative phenomenological analysis of posttraumatic growth in people with psychosis JO - Journal of loss and trauma A1 - Sabin-Farrell, Rachel A1 - Joseph, Stephen A1 - Mapplebeck, Clare SP - 34 EP - 45 VL - 20 IS - 1 N2 - This study explored the experience of posttraumatic growth in adults with psychosis. Seven participants were interviewed using a semistructured interview schedule. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. One main superordinate theme was identified ("the adapting self"), with a number of subordinate themes ("finding meaning and purpose," "support and understanding," "inner strength and determination," and "self-acceptance and awareness"). Adults with psychosis demonstrated the potential for growth following adverse experiences.
