Abstract
One purpose of the following study was to elucidate the relationship between constructive post-traumatic growth (PTG) and identity transformations after a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Overall, we found that lower levels of distress and healthy interpersonal relationships reinforced an individual’s identity which aided in producing constructive PTG following a TBI.
