Learning from Resilient People ― Lessons We Can Apply to Counseling And Psychotherapy

A social work professional based in Los Angeles, Glicken develops ideas he has discussed in previous books by looking at the ways some people manage to navigate the troubled waters of life's traumas, and how human service professionals can apply that information to their work. The notion of resilience has become popular in the field recently, he says, but little is still known about why some people are resilient and how resilience functions across the life cycle and through multiple life events. The book could serve as a supplemental textbook in the helping professions. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
