Resistance to stress

This publication presents a modern view of stress resistance, i.e., mental and physical resilience, which allows us to react flexibly to challenging life situations.
Continuously advancing neuroscience research brings valuable and stimulating findings that help to anchor our clinical observations and experience within a broader biological and theoretical framework. Based on these findings, the author shows how to strengthen the flexibility of our thinking, emotions, and behaviour through systematic training. Practical instructions and proven procedures help not only to balance daily stress but also to face traumatic events with courage and self-confidence. Building resilience also raises questions concerning upbringing, education, the culture of interpersonal coexistence, politics, or life values and spirituality.
The book offers inspiration for increasing life satisfaction and strengthening mental and physical health not only to experts in the fields of psychiatry, psychology, or psychotherapy, but also to students of these disciplines.
