Resilienz und Resilienzförderung über die Lebensspanne
The topic of resilience and the promotion of protective factors has been attracting increasing importance in the human sciences and health sciences in recent years & along with a paradigm shift from deficit orientation to resource orientation, and from pathogenesis to salutogenesis. Resilience and the promotion of resilience are relevant not only to specific age groups, but apply throughout the individual=s entire lifetime. This volume therefore relates the concept of resilience specifically to different developmental phases. The importance of resilience and relevant ways of promoting it are presented for early and later childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. Students and practitioners are offered theoretical and practical advice on how resilience support can be designed in the different phases of life. In addition, new fields such as resilience-focused psychotherapy and family resilience are also presented.
