Resilience in Children, Adolescents, and Adults: Translating Research
into Practice recognizes the growing need to strengthen the links
between theory, assessment, interventions, and outcomes to give
resilience a stronger empirical base, resulting in more effective
interventions and strength-enhancing practice. This comprehensive volume
clarifies core constructs of resilience and links these definitions to
effective assessment. Leading researchers and clinicians examine
effective scales, questionnaires, and other evaluative tools as well as
instructive studies on cultural considerations in resilience, resilience
in the context of disaster, and age-appropriate interventions.
Key coverage addresses diverse approaches and applications in multiple
areas across the lifespan. Among the subject areas covered are:
- Perceived self-efficacy and its relationship to resilience.
- Resilience and mental health promotion in the schools.
- Resilience in childhood disorders.
- Critical resources for recovering from stress.
- Diversity, ecological, and lifespan issues in resilience.
- Exploring resilience through the lens of core self-evaluation.
Resilience in Children, Adolescents, and Adults is an important
resource for researchers, clinicians and allied professionals, and
graduate students in such fields as clinical child, school, and
developmental psychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, education,
counseling psychology, social work, and pediatrics.
