PSY 354A - Positive Psychology: Building Resilience to Trauma

Institution:

Antioch University-System Administration

Subject:

Description:

Over the past ten or fifteen years, "resilience" has developed from an loosedescription of a condition of individuals who have survived traumatic circumstances and developed to be healthy and successful adults to a field of study in its own right. Resilience, a now significant construct in psychology, education, sociology, and elsewhere, is best conceived in the context of preventative mental health, and has applications in personal relationships, families, classrooms, and school, with special relevance to children and adolescents in poverty. This course examines the factors shown to be associated with such successful adaptation and resistance in the face of oppression and how educators and psychologists can provide the types of experiences and environments that encourage these developments.
