Even
the most significant technological and medical advances of the 21st century
have been tempered by the increasing risk posed to children in the form
of such stressors as poverty, victimization, and family dysfunction. To
overcome such pressures, children must become skilled in navigating through
these turbulent times. With the proper support from parents, extended
families, schools, and communities, children are more likely to experience
positive development rather than dysfunction in their adult lives. To
help children overcome everyday obstacles, the Handbook of Resilience
in Children, edited by Drs. Goldstein and Brooks, gathers into one volume
the current scientific theory, clinical guidelines, and real-world interventions
to address such as issues as: The role of resilience in overcoming trauma,
adversity, and abuse. It provides clinicians, academics, and mental health
professionals with the information needed to affect positive youth development.
