Perspectives on Coping and Resilience

Venkat Pulla (Editor) Andrew Shatte (Editor) Shane Warren (Editor)

Synopsis

The volume probes the interplay of individual, family, community and social factors to emphasise the human ability to cope with things and bounce back, which is vital for success.

The writings presented here by practitioners and academics in fields of psychology, management science, art, social work and spirituality discuss the concepts of coping and resilience. They delve into the concept of emotion regulation or the ability to control negative feelings in times of adversity, the importance of self-efficacy or the belief that one has control in one's world and use of resilience to change self-defeating behaviour in the cycle of addiction and co-dependence. They include case studies illustrating deploying of resilience intervention with youth with disabilities and art therapy to help female victims of childhood sexual abuse.
