Jay, Cathy, and Joe all attended faith-based Christian colleges, and all experienced trauma because of the events they experienced. Often seen as “safer” environments for Christian students, such schools are nonetheless places where negative things can and do happen.
Years later, as a consequence of receiving counseling, Jay came to regard his nightmares as panic attacks brought on by the anxieties associated with being away from home for the first extended period of time. Cathy learned to be more aware of her surroundings and to exercise caution, especially when she was alone. She never reported the attack, but now says she would encourage a young woman who experienced something similar to report it to a school authority. Joe told himself that he would explain what happened to his professor at a later time, but never did. All these students found that their lives changed as a result of these occurrences. Each had to adjust to cope and then to learn from their experiences.
From the Forward by Dr. Joan Havens:
This book, Psychology of Human Adjustment: A Faith-Based Handbook, is readable, practical, and contemporary. Considering all the challenges which will likely continue in the future, it is a useful resource to examine and implement a healthy perspective on adjustment.
