Abstract

Abstract The loss of illusions is a powerful consequence of traumatic life events. Fundamental assumptions about benevolence, meaning, and self-worth are illusions that are shattered by the traumatic experience. The illusory nature of these assumptions is understood in terms of over generalization of positive beliefs about the self and the world. Ultimately, survivors “correct” this overgeneralization in response to their traumatic victimization. In the process of exploring the loss of illusions, this article addresses the nature of traumatic versus ordinary change and the nature of coping and “recovery” in the aftermath of trauma.

幻想的丧失:创伤的有力遗产

幻想的丧失是创伤性生活事件的强烈后果。关于仁慈、意义和自我价值的基本假设都是被创伤经历粉碎的幻想。这些假设的虚幻本质可以通过对自我和世界的积极信念的过度概括来理解。最终，幸存者“纠正”了这种过度概括，以回应他们的创伤受害者。在探索幻想丧失的过程中，本文探讨了创伤性变化与普通变化的本质，以及创伤后应对和“恢复”的本质。
