This unique book shows how resilience can be reinforced and structured to create stronger individuals and societies, vis a vis increasing traumatic and stressful life circumstances. The author investigates several human practices, processes and features that aid our capacity to resist, combat, adapt to or counter extreme traumatisation. Each chapter illustrates the components necessary to achieve resilience: attachment, connectedness, memory, testimony, education and the development and practice of artistic and creative activities.
