The purpose of the present study was to develop a Posttraumatic growth (PTG), counseling program based on Reality Therapy, and to investigate its efficacy. The PTG counseling program, developed by consists of 12 individual sessions. Outcome variables, including PTG, symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), self-efficacy, internal control were assessed at pre- and post-intervention and at a 3-month follow-up. The participants were 11 trauma survivors who had experienced crime (n=3), domestic violence (n=2), loss of a loved one (n=2), separation and divorce (n=2), bullying (n=1), and spousal affair (n=1). The results of this study showed that the PTG counseling program was effective in increasing PTG as well as reducing PTSD symptoms, although it did not change self-efficacy and internal control significantly. Finally, future directions for the therapeutic approach and research are discussed.
