Developing Resilience

Some individuals emerge from grim experiences stronger in mind and spirit than others who suffered the same ordeal. In this updated and revised edition, Michael Neenan focuses on the meanings we attach to life's adversities in order to understand how we respond to them.

"The first edition of this book was a landmark publication in presenting a cognitive-behavioural perspective on resilience with Michael Neenan's characteristic perceptiveness and clarity. The second edition is even better and contains topical new material on stoicism, positive psychology and the use of central personal metaphors. An important update." Windy Dryden Ph.D, Emeritus Professor of Psychotherapeutic Studies, Goldsmiths University of London
