The Impact of College Trauma on the Interpersonal Self

• In Event: Health and Wellness

Abstract

Although many college students are survivors of trauma, scant research has explored how trauma impacts the developmental processes of early adulthood. The current qualitative grounded theory study sought to explore this gap by investigating the impact of college trauma on identity development. In particular, the current paper explored the ways trauma affects interpersonal dimensions of identity.
