Abstract
ABSTRACTThe purpose of this article is to first explain the concept of Tragic Optimism (TO) and why it is necessary for effective counselling and trauma therapy. It then explains how the TO model is based on the Positive Psychology 2.0 (P.P. 2.0) framework and examines the empirical support of its contribution to posttraumatic growth. It also discusses the psychometrics of the Life Attitudes Scale (LAS) – an instrument based on the TO components. Finally, it will consider the relevance of the dual-system model and the ABCDE strategy in Wong’s integrative meaning therapy in trauma treatment and concludes with a case study employing the Meaning Therapy with a TO emphasis.
