Siang-Yang Tan

Beyond Resilience, Post-traumatic Growth, and Self-Care

Professor of Psychology, Fuller School of Psychology
May 9, 2014

Siang-Yang Tan (Fuller School of Psychology) discusses suffering and spiritual formation, going beyond the psychological perspectives and empirical findings on resilience, posttraumatic growth (or stress-related growth or benefit-finding), and self-care by covering more substantially a biblical perspective on suffering and spiritual formation. He elaborates on sanctified or redemptive suffering as a crucial process for becoming more like Jesus in spiritual formation.
