Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

In this volume, mental health professionals pioneer a shift in focus from the treatment of dysfunctional children and adults toward the identification of factors which are found in "resilient" children, or, those who overcome their adverse surrounding and even emerge strengthened. Children from many diverse populations, ranging from stepchildren to developmentally delayed children to children of religious cults, are examined and the elements common to their healthy adjustment identified. The establishment of a model for the recognition of resilience lays the groundwork for primary prevention specialists to develop and implement preventive rather than remedial programs for children designated "at risk."
