  • Title: Trauma, PTSD, and resilience: a review of the literature.
    Author: Agaibi CE, Wilson JP.
    Journal: Trauma Violence Abuse; 2005 Jul; 6(3):195-216. PubMed ID: 16237155.
    Abstract:
    Based on the available literature, this review article investigates the issue of resilience in relation to trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder. Resilient coping to extreme stress and trauma is a multifaceted phenomena characterized as a complex repertoire of behavioral tendencies. An integrative Person x Situation model is developed based on the literature that specifies the nature of interactions among five classes of variables: (a) personality, (b) affect regulation, (c) coping, (d) ego defenses, and (e) the utilization and mobilization of protective factors and resources to aid coping.
