51 the adversative and possible potential, allowing people to give a meaning and to identify the positive aspects. 3. CONCLUSIONS A full understanding - of the links between the personal resources and cognitive and behavioural coping and the stress induced growth and evolution suggests numerous potential implications and applications for the improvement of people’s life and of the society. First of all until now researchers suggest that stress induced growth and evolution can be results that deserve to be encouraged, as the effect on their individual life can be that one that reduces in a great extent the adversative experiences in a long term of the people who passed through stressing and traumatising factors. It’s essential for us not to underestimate the pain, the despair, the suffering and the loss that people can have duet o the stressing factors. Nevertheless it is important to offer the survivors the idea that by a successful coping de success there is hope for transforming the difficult experiences and of the most horrible ones; that people have some choices to make on the ways they can follow for recovery and that the identification of the positive aspects of the stressing experiences can be a viable option. Helping people to identify and develop their positive resources and aspects of self after traumas and loss- there can be found healing modalities of some of the long term sufferings or of the severe ones they can have. How can society encourage the stress induced growth and evolution? A part of this change of paradigm implies the modification of cultural expectations, creating some awareness that after traumas there isn’t just pain and suffering, but also the opportunity of transformation and growth. This can be obtained by the developing of a language and conceptual frame, by the developing of a research foundation in order to better understand these phenomena and especially by connecting the current concepts and the empiric research to the idea of transformation and growth, which existed for ages in our culture as different religious, mythological and philosophical traditions. Services and persons involved in giving help can also develop these conditions to stimulate stress induced growth and evolution. A clearer understanding of the way the moods, the resources and the efforts of coping of people influences the growth and the evolution after the stressing experiences can lead to a better offer of adequate resources as well as of interventions from those who work in helping services. Stress induced growth and evolution can also be promoted in the psychotherapy processes and post-trauma interventions.
