Overview

This scientific study is a pioneering work in the field of integration of positive psychology, a new direction in the psychology, and war trauma therapy. Although the war-trauma in Germany and in Europe as the trauma-centered therapy is very good and systematized explored, there are still only few studies how war-traumatized people can build their inner strengths and resources. This work deals mainly with war-trauma therapy and accordingly with the newest research in the matter of resilience, trauma growth and resource-oriented approaches in the field of positive psychology. The next groundbreaking moment in this work, which means a new field in the world of psychology, psychotherapy and counseling, lies in the integration of positive psychology and the Christian pastoral care as in general therapy/counseling, as well as in war-trauma therapy.

The theme was a recommendation of his mentor, Ph. D. Andreas Bochmann, because the author has his own and family experience (as a civilian) with war trauma in Ex-Yugoslavia and is moreover professionally familiar with this topic through the twelve-year pastoral accompaniment of people from war-affected areas.
