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 arena, psychosocial correlates, applied evidence, and cultivating resilience. 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 wellbeing, post traumatic growth, building resilience with conflict survivors, peer support in varying contexts of marginalisation, 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.
