From a pioneering researcher, this book synthesizes the best current
knowledge on resilience in children and adolescents. Ann S. Masten
explores what allows certain individuals to thrive and adapt despite
adverse circumstances, such as poverty, chronic family problems, or
exposure to trauma. Coverage encompasses the neurobiology of
resilience as well as the role of major contexts of development:
families, schools, and culture. Identifying key protective factors in
early childhood and beyond, Masten provides a cogent framework for
designing programs to promote resilience. Complex concepts are
carefully defined and illustrated with real-world examples.
