Summary
There's no escaping stress. It appears on our doorstep uninvited in the shattering forms of death, divorce, or job loss. Stress even comes in the pleasant experiences of promotion, marriage, or a long-held wish fulfilled. So why do some people come out of a crisis feeling better than ever, and others never seem to bounce back? With a new chapter on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and the latest research on "nerve cell plasticity," this completely revised edition of Resilience takes the anxiety out of hard times. Drawing on more than thirty years of case studies from his own psychiatric practice, Dr. Flach reveals the remarkable antidote to the destructive qualities of stress -- physical, mental, and emotional resilience. Book jacket.
