What makes some people more resilient than others? Why do some survivors of the same traumatic event develop PTSD, while some don't? In this guide for general readers, Southwick (psychiatry, PTSD, Yale School of Medicine) and Charney (psychiatry, neuroscience, the Mount Sinai School of Medicine) present practical steps for becoming more resilient in the face of stress and traumatic events, based on the latest research on resilience from the fields of psychology, psychiatry, neurobiology, philosophy, and theology. Recognizing that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are the complex products of genetic, biological, psychological, social, and spiritual forces, the authors distill 10 essential factors that contribute to resilience and offer tips for training the brain to facilitate resilience. Ideas are illustrated with stories from the author's interviews with Vietnam POWs, Special Forces soldiers, and civilians. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
