| Summary |
"Almost no one today would deny that the world is sometimes an inhospitable, even dangerous, place for our youth. Yet most children - even those living in high-risk environments - appear to persevere. Some even flourish. And this begs the question, why, in the face of such great odds, do these children become survivors rather than casualties of their environments? For many decades, scholars have pursued answers to the mysteries of resilience. Now, having culled several decades of research findings, the editors of this volume offer an in-depth, leading-edge description and analysis of Resilience in Children, Families, and Communities: Linking Context to Practice and Policy." "For researchers, clinicians, and students, Resilience in Children, Families, and Communities: Linking Context to Practice and Policy is an essential addition to their library. It is a practical guide to ensuring greater success in the effort to encourage resilience in all children and to achieve positive youth development."--Jacket. |
