Learning from Resilient People: Lessons We Can Apply to Counseling and Psychotherapy: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Learning from Resilient People: Lessons We Can Apply to Counseling and Psychotherapy" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This comprehensive core textbook analyzes how resilient people navigate the troubled waters of lifes traumas and identifies how learning about resilience may help cultivate this quality in other, less resilient, people. Author Morley D. Glicken explains the inner self-healing processes of resilient people and helps individuals training in the helping professions to learn to use these processes in working with their clients.
Key Features:
  • Presents Current Research on Resilience: The most current data is provided on a variety of common physical, social, and emotional problems experienced by people and the way in which resilient people cope with those problems. In addition, an entire chapter summarizes what we know about resilience and how it can be applied to clinical practice.
  • Provides Engaging Case Examples: Wonderful and honestly written stories from resilient people about how they cope so well with their traumas illustrate how therapy using resilience can work. From this perspective, therapy draws from strength rather than deficit or psychopathology. There is also a chapter on resilient communities, not often discussed in literature, which supports the idea that communities can help people increase their resilience.
  • Examines Resilience Across the Life Cycle: The meaning and definitions of resilience is discussed as well as how it functions throughout the life cycle and through multiple life events. This book also clarifies the erroneous notion that resilient people are endlessly resilient and helps recognize resilience as an actual and real attribute, and not one that makes people seem super human.

Intended Audience: This is an ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in Psychology, Counseling, Social Work, Psychiatric Nursing, Marriage and Family Counseling, and Criminal Justice that teach direct practice techniques, approaches, and theories. It is also a valuable resource for practitioners, administrators, teachers, mental health workers, and family service agencies.?

This book is dedicated to the resilient children who endure traumas to the body and to the spirit, yet survive and live astonishing lives. It is also dedicated to the victims and survivors of genocide and state-sponsored terror that my parents endured in the killing fields of Eastern Europe. Growing up with stories of atrocities makes me wish, fervently, that we never again need to use the word survivor knowing that it means surviving the banality of evil.

Preface
T his book is about the ways resilient people navigate the troubled waters of lifes traumas and how human service professionals can apply that information to our work. While a number of researchers believe that understanding resilience is the key to knowing how people successfully cope with traumatic life events and why they often come out of a crisis stronger and more certain of their goals and directions in life, the concept of resilience is still fairly new in the research literature. Although we think we know what it means to be resilient, we know far less about why some people are resilient, or how their resilience functions across the life cycle and through multiple life events. All of these issues will be discussed at length in this book.
This book continues the development of ideas found in two other books Ive written: Using the Strengths Perspective in Social Work Practice (2004a) and Improving the Effectiveness of the Helping Professions: An Evidence-Based Approach to Practice (2005b). In both books Ive argued for a knowledge-guided approach to practice that focuses on client strengths. Much of what Ive found in researching each book leads me to believe there is demonstrable evidence that many people are resilient and that we can learn about how they cope with traumas and apply those successful approaches to our clinical work. Knowing how resilient people cope could lead to breakthroughs in the way we provide treatment.
Instead of writing a purely research-oriented book, Ive combined discussions of the current research with stories resilient people have shared with me about the traumas theyve successfully resolved. Ive then compared their coping strategies with the existing research. To gather stories about resilience for this book, I asked people at professional and social functions, friends, colleagues, and people I met randomly who had stories of resilience, to send them to me. The stories were to contain the traumas experienced by the storyteller, when they were experienced, what they did to cope with the traumas, and why their coping approaches seemed to work. I tried to only use those stories that met all of these prior expectations. Some of the stories were told to me, and I wrote them with the storytellers permission. Several of the stories and cases in the book are based upon multiple composites of people and situations and were written by me because I felt the stories were necessary to tell. In a few instances I wrote stories about my own life experiences. It felt right to me to do this since my family suggests many examples of resilience. When I had all the stories for the book, I compared each story to the existing research on resilience to determine whether it confirmed or departed from current beliefs about resilience. The coping strategies that were clearly identified in the stories and seemed consistent throughout the book were then summarized in a series of suggestions for clinical practice.
This approach combines the objective with the more subjective. Although the stories included are single events and generalizing to other populations of people experiencing similar traumas may be difficult, still, there is much to be learned from a more subjective approach. Proving or disproving theories of resilience becomes more of a possibility when we observe how the bulk of the over 50 stories included in this book agree or disagree with the existing research. This approach also answers fundamental questions about resilience throughout the life span and the ability of resilient people to cope with multiple traumas. Since I have included interviews with some of the people whose stories appear in the book, the reader has an opportunity to obtain additional information about resilience not necessarily included in the stories.
Like many people who grew up in families that were overwhelmed with life problems, I learned about resilience from my working class, immigrant parents. They dealt with illness, lack of finances, and social isolation, as well as prejudice against immigrant Jews, in ways that modeled resilience. But being resilient and surviving serious life problems, while still achieving at a high level, isnt done without a price, and this is why throughout this book resilience is defined as successful social functioning that may or may not include happiness and self-fulfillment.
Not everyone is resilient, of course, and to remember the many among us who suffer because of the harm done to them by others, this book is written for the abused and neglected, the homeless and the hungry, the victims of terror, the immigrants who suffer indignities to the body and to the spirit, the children who grow up with violence, and for our fellow citizens who live with unimaginable social and emotional pain. Their anguish should motivate all helping professionals to open our hearts and minds to new ideas and new treatment approaches and, in Bertrand Russells words, to have unbearable sympathy for the suffering of others.
