A concept that arises from the social sciences to characterize people who, living in high-risk conditions, develop psychologically healthy and socially successful.
This inner capacity of the human being to face adversity, overcome it and be positively transformed by it is called RESILIENCE.
Werner in 1992, studied a group of people for 40 years, reaching the conclusion that children "condemned" to present problems in the future, according to the risk approach, became successful, constituted stable families and contributed positively to society. In view of this, the concept of invulnerability arises to describe healthy people who have developed in unhealthy environments.
The rigidity and determinism of this term makes us opt for RESILIENCE, which evokes elasticity and flexibility.
While the risk approach focuses on the disease, the symptom and the characteristics that are associated with a high probability of damage, the resilience approach is explained through what has been called the challenge model, in which negative forces do not find an unarmed person in whom permanent damage will be determined. It describes the existence of real protective shields that attenuate the negative effects and transform them into protective and strengthening factors.
Thus, personality characteristics emerge that configure a resilient profile and ways to stimulate it in the different stages of life.
