Elizabeth (Betsy) Altmaier is a psychologist who studied trauma among patients diagnosed with cancer, persons with chronic pain, and adults after interpersonal injuries. Traumatic life circumstances meet the definition of trauma proposed by Judith Herman: traumatic events overwhelm ordinary systems of care that give people a sense of control, connection, and meaning. But it is an extraordinary fact that we can also respond to trauma with enduring positive changes in important life domains such as spirituality and interpersonal relationships. Betsy's focus on meaning making and other positive processes, such as forgiveness, gives her work a person-centered perspective. Betsy earned a B.A. in Psychology from Wheaton College, and an M.A. and PhD in Psychology from The Ohio State University. She was on the psychology faculty at the University of Florida from 1977 to 1980 and the counseling psychology faculty at the University of Iowa fro 1980 until her retirement in 2015. During her academic career, she authored over 100 books and articles and mentored 55 students.
