Resilienz

Psychological crises are normal; today, one in two people will experience a mental illness at some point in their lives. In therapy, a paradigm shift is occurring, focusing less on combating symptoms and more on strengthening resources. Increasingly, studies show that psychological flexibility, the role of personal values, mindfulness, and lifestyle factors such as social networks can improve the course of mental illnesses. This book highlights important behavioral aspects and external protective factors, alongside inner attitudes, that help support mental and physical health. The second edition includes insights from the COVID-19 crisis that have reinforced the concept of resilience.
