Reviews
'An empathetic exploration of women's traumas and how those experiencing them travel to Posttraumatic Growth. The authors explore the tumultuous emotions stirred up by the death of a loved one, domestic abuse, serious accidents, illnesses, and the broad fluctuations between hope and despair. Insightful, practical, compassionate, and a must-read!' Sharon R. Rainer, Ph.D., APRN, FNP-BC, ANP-BC, ENP-C, Program Director, Emergency Nurse Practitioner Post-Graduate Program, Thomas Jefferson University College of Nursing, USA 'Women’s Journeys to Posttraumatic Growth is compassionately infused with true stories of life traumas encountered by ordinary women. Drs.

Iris J. Turkenkopf, Ph.D., Professor & Vice President for Academic Affairs (retired), Mount Saint Mary College, USA
