Amazon.com description: Product Description: An informative and inspiring guide to rebounding from childhood hardships to find uncommon strength and courage
Â
âThe Resilient Self reminds us all of the importance of being aware of and building on the strengths of our young people, whatever their early life experiences. We must work to give them hope and to craft services and programs that are respectful of the resiliencies so thoughtfully characterized by the Wolins. This guide, although based on the experiences of adults, offers extremely useful insights too for those working on behalf of children and adolescents.ââMarian Wright Edelman, president, Childrenâs Defense Fund
Â
âThis book offers a strong sense of hope for everyone who has grown up in a troubled family. I salute the authors for their masterful synthesis of research, clinical experiences, and insights gleaned from the voices of poetry. The Wolinsâ book cautions the reader that no one emerges from troubled childhood without some scars, but it challenges us to finds ways in which we can transforms pain into joy in our lives.ââEmmy E. Werner, Ph.D., author of Vulnerable But Invincible and Overcoming the Odds
Â
âThis marvelous book can turn the tide for people injured during their childhoods, not by ignoring the ashes of the past, but by winnowing out the precious elements from which the phoenix can triumphantly rise. It is a book that has been badly needed, and for which many will long be grateful.ââTimmen L. Cermak, M.D., former chairman, National Association for Children of Alcoholics
Â
âAt last, a compassionate and realistic challenge to abandon the idea that one is a passive object of an unhappy childhood. The Resilient Self encourages readers to recognize and appreciate their strong, insightful, and creative survival.ââBarbara Mathis, author of Between Sisters: Secret Rivals, Intimate Friends
Â
âThe Resilient Self shows adult children of dysfunctional families that they can escape a painful past and become resilient survivors. It describes the strategies which have been used successfully by those who grew up in troubled homes but who managed to work well, play well, and love well as adults. I recognized myself in this book with a survivorâs pride.ââAnonymous survivor
