The Routledge International Handbook of Psychosocial Resilience

Psychological resilience has emerged as a highly significant area of research and practice, finding applications with a broad range of different groups in many settings. The second edition of The Routledge International Handbook of Psychosocial Resilience is a comprehensive compilation of chapters from an international team of contributors that takes stock of the state of the art in resilience theory, research, and practice. It covers the many different trajectories that resilience research has taken in four sections: the conceptual trends, psychosocial correlates, applied evidence, and cultivating resilience: impact and implications. This second edition has been thoroughly updated throughout and includes new chapters on topics such as military resilience, resilience in rural contexts, cultural pathways, digital well-being, post-traumatic growth, building resilience with conflict survivors, peer support in varying contexts of marginalization, and the role of spirituality. This handbook is essential for psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, and psychiatric social workers, as well as researchers and students of psychology, sociology, human development, family studies, and disaster management.
