Media Reviews
Drs. Brooks and Goldstein have gathered several of the prime movers in the fields of psychology, education, and social work and asked them to reflect upon the role and function of resilience from their unique vantage points. The result is a comprehensive, detailed, transdisciplinary examination of the impact of resiliency as well as specific strategies to foster this crucial trait in children and youth. The Handbook of Resilience in Children provides us with a compass and a roadmap as we undertake this challenging journey with the children in our charge. Richard D. Lavoie, M.A., M.Ed. Visiting Professor Simmons College, Boston Author of It's So Much Work to Be Your Friend Given the many challenges and stresses facing our youth today, the Handbook of Resilience in Children is an important new contribution. It provides a range of research perspectives and recommendations that can be very helpful to mental health professionals, researchers, and clinicians. In addition, it is useful in thinking about the needs of children across the socioeconomic spectrum and those experiencing stress as a result of various conditions. Most important, the focus on resilience rather than pathology is welcome and useful. James P. Comer, M.D., Associate Dean Maurice Falk Professor of Child Psychiatry Yale Child Study Center School of Medicine From the reviews: Goldstein and Brooks bring a broad range of contributions to their handbook ! . This excellent book could serve as a special-topics text for an advanced undergraduate seminar. (J.F. Heberle, CHOICE, 2004)
