Resilience is the human capacity to deal with stress and adversity and emerge stronger for the experience. This volume contains ten contributions from members of the helping professions (e.g. psychologists, doctors, teachers) dealing with the fostering of resilience, particularly in children and youth. Topics include, for example, rebuilding relationships in dysfunctional families, meeting the needs of families with exceptional children, and promoting independence in children requiring long term health care.
