FAMILY RESILIENCE: DEFINING THE CONCEPT FROM A HUMANIST PERSPECTIVE
Resilience has long been a topic of study in various fields, and in recent decades many researchers and clinicians have focused on the literature dealing with resilience of parents with children who have suffered a trauma. Since there are numerous definitions of resilience which have evolved over time and vary between fields, it is imperative for researchers working in this field to develop their own definition or, at the very least, to clearly specify the definition being used. This article presents a definition of family resilience inspired by empiricism and based on a humanist perspective.
