Abstract

Resilience is the ability to adapt successfully to severe or chronic stress. Identifying the factors that set resilient individuals apart from those who are vulnerable to the effects of stress has clinical significance: understanding the neurobiology and psychology of resilience enables researchers and clinicians to develop new therapies for the prevention and treatment of stress-induced psychopathology in non-resilient individuals. This chapter outlines the current understanding of resilience, from genetic, epigenetic, developmental, psychological, and neurobiological perspectives, and promotes promising new therapies for the promotion of resilience to stress.
