Definition(s)

  • Resilience frameworks became influential in the late decades of the 20th century as an alternative to prevailing disease models, which focused on diagnosing and treating the infirmities and psychopathologies of individuals and communities. The need for a revised paradigm was grounded in data showing that certain persons, subpopulations, and even whole communities seem to adapt, even thrive, in the face of illness, challenging socioeconomic conditions or crisis.
