Description

Book Synopsis
Resilience and Health in a Fast-Changing World draws on theoretical investigation as well as empirical research to provide answers to key questions concerning psychological resilience. What decides whether a person suffering misfortune bounces back quickly or falls into despair for years? Which processes and mechanisms constitute psychological resilience? Is there a particular model of human adaptation shaped by evolutionary processes that would enable a person to maintain mental health in unfavorable and changing circumstances? This volume is informative for both academics and practitioners.

Trade Review
The monograph raises an important and timely issue of human psychological resilience, [which] is especially important in a fast-changing world presenting an increasing number of challenges and threats, which demand the skills of dealing with them and adapting to changing circumstances... The volume is addressed to a vast audience of those interested in the problems of health and stress, but first of all to psychologists, both scholars and practitioners. Additionally, it can be a valuable source of information for educators, sociologists, philosophers, physicians, and other health professionals. -- Nina Oginska-Bulik
