Understanding Resilience

Resilience has become something of a buzz word in recent years, especially in the field of member care, but what is it? This book aims to answer this and other important questions. Part one evaluates over forty years of resilience research, exploring how it has been understood in different contexts, and what it looks like in the context of cross-cultural mission. Part two reviews methods used for assessing resilience and suggests different means by which it may be enhanced.
