cused cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy (CPT), and prolonged exposure therapy (PE). These are strongly recommended first-line therapies in major PTSD treatment guidelines. 9 Recently, Sloan and Marx' s 10 research team introduced a fivesession exposure-based PTSD treatment protocol called written exposure therapy (WET). WET is recommended for the treatment of PTSD in clinical practice guidelines (Department of Veterans Affairs/Department of Defense, 2017). Like other EBTs, it comprises critical components considered to be responsible for the successful treatment of PTSD symptoms, such as therapeutic exposure and cognitive processing/cognitive restructuring. [10][11][12] However, WET requires a smaller number of sessions, shorter session durations, and no between-session assignments. 10,13 The efficacy of WET was evaluated using a randomized controlled trial, and this study reported a significant reduction in PTSD symptom severity at the post-treatment follow-up, and symptom reduction was maintained three and six months later with 7% of drop-out rate. 14 A study that directly compared WET

Background: The present study aimed to explore psychometric properties of Korean version of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory for Children-Revised (PTGI-C-R), and related variables. Methods: The PTGI-C-R was translated into Korean and 716 children and adolescents in a general population sample completed a self-report battery. Results: 361 participants reported experiencing of traumatic event and 145 among them showed clinical symptoms. In clinical group, Korean version of PTGI-C-R has exhibited good internal consistency and construct validity. Those who experienced traumatic event reported more PTG than unexperienced group. PTG was positively related with resilience, optimism, and rumination, but negatively related with depression and anxiety, also nonlinearly related with intensity of perceived stress. Conclusions: This study found the distinct changes of PTG from normative maturation by comparing those who experienced traumatic event and those who did not.
