| Authors: | Alex, Gitterman |
| Keywords: | Social service—United States |

| Publisher: | Columbia University |
| Description: | In the new edition, the focus is expanded to include resiliency and protective factors, the positive poles of the human experience, in order to examine such questions as: Why do some people collapse under certain life conditions and circumstances while others remain relatively unscathed? What accounts for the marked individual variations in people’s responses to stress and adversity? What accounts for the surprisingly large number of people who somehow, at times miraculously, manage their adversities? How do people adapt, cope, overcome, and meet the challenges of physical and mental conditions, severe losses and traumas, and chronic discrimination and oppression? Why do some people thrive and not simply survive in the face of life’s inhumanities and tragedies? |
