Abstract

Abstract : To date there has been no direct measurement of the resilience of Vietnam era repatriated Prisoners of War (RPWs).

The purpose of this brief study was to directly measure psychological resilience in a group of Vietnam era RPWs and identify those RPWs who self-identify as resilient.
