The current study aimed to develop and test models of life recovery, Based on reviews of preceding studies in Japan and US, the current paper constructed and compared eight different models of life recovery. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to the data obtained by the 2003 Hyogo Prefecture Survey on disaster survivors (N=1203). A final SEM model provided causal chains of recovery promoting factors, recovery process and recovery outcome. Its research and practice implications were discussed.
