Abstract
The article presents the results of a theoretical and empirical study of the psychological peculiarities of post-traumatic growth of combatants with different attitudes towards the future. 
 As a result of the theoretical analysis, it was found that the post-traumatic period of personal life creation can be and should be a period of personal growth and increasing of psychological well-being of the combatants even in wartime. 
 The data of the empirical study showed that according to indicators of post-traumatic growth in general, a half of the studied subjects after a traumatic experience began to be characterized with bigger openness in communication with others, with a positive attitude to life and empathy. Almost a third of servicemen became easier to adapt to changes. At the same time, a certain part of the interviewed combatants no longer felt confident in their ability to solve their life problems. 
 Most of the interviewed servicemen are sufficiently motivated to set life tasks in various fields, are able to structure their own lives, are optimistic about the future, assess their capabilities objectively, are quite active in everyday activities, as well as stable in life tasks setting. At the same time, the rate of low-motivated servicemen who are unable to structure their own life time, do not seek to make serious plans and are unable to set life tasks taking into account the integrity of life, is quite high. 
 A comparison of the peculiarities of post-traumatic growth of combatants with different attitudes towards the future proved that the higher the level of positive attitude towards the future of servicemen is, the more confident they feel in their own abilities to solve their life problems. In addition, the more close, pleasant, trusting relationships the combatants have with others, the more positive vision they have of the future. It was possible to conclude that a high level of positive attitude towards the future correlates with high indicators of post-traumatic growth of combatants, that is, the attitude towards the future is a factor in the post-traumatic recovery of servicemen – combatants.
