What is Resilience?




The Bowen Center show

Summary: Most people recognize resilience when they see it – the ability to “bounce back” from adversity or hardship. Is resilience “hardwired” into a person or is it a relationship process? What factors increase resilience in a person or a family? In this presentation, Louise Rauseo will pose some questions about the research on resilience over the last thirty to forty years and suggest new ways of thinking about resilience in a person and in a family in light of Bowen theory. Louise Rauseo, MS, RN has a private practice in Annapolis, MD and at the US-Mexico border. This lecture was recorded live at The Bowen Center in Washington, DC on September 29, 2011.
