Abstract

The article analyzes the models and approaches of post-traumatic growth (PTG) used in the psychological rehabilitation of veterans. Post-traumatic growth (PTG) is a positive psychological change that occurs as a result of psychological processing of the experience of difficult life circumstances—models of PGD help to understand how people can find meaning and strength in their experiences of trauma. Several vital models are often used in the psychological rehabilitation of veterans. The analysis of the existing models of posttraumatic growth as an effective tool in the psychological rehabilitation of veterans of the Russian-Ukrainian war expands the vision of theoretical models of PGT. It enables professionals to expand the basis of psychological interventions in the rehabilitation of veterans, their transition from military and civilian life, and the adaptation of their own experience to family life. Psychological support for a veteran who has gone through severe combat operations and returned home with a sense of loss and helplessness requires a modern psychologist to be aware of their level of training and to master a multimodal approach to this activity. By applying one of the adapted models to the case of a veteran client, a psychologist can help them identify new development opportunities, find meaning in their experience and present life, strengthen ties with family and friends, and strengthen the spiritual foundations of their life. The article presents a model of PTZ for consideration: R.G. Tedeschi and L.G. Calhoun's functional-descriptive as the primary model; a person-centered model by S. Josef, a biopsychosocial model by M. Christopher, a psychological-philosophical model by R. Papadopoulos and others. The variations of coping strategies as models of coping are also considered. The author outlines several views on the possibilities of implementing the theory of coping in psychological support and the implementation of psychological rehabilitation of military personnel, veterans, combatants, etc.
