I mean that you have it already in early childhood or not. This is shown by several of my clients who were able to get out of the parental messes in spite of enormous problems.
And if it is learnable, how long could it take and what methods are there? Thank you for your answers.
Dr, Jean-Marie Bottequin,
You ask the following: "Can reseilience (resilience) be learned at all?"
As a psychologist, I think that the psychological phenomenon of resilience is related to biological predispositions. Even so, do not think of if as a psychological trait. This means that, to a great extent, it can be fostered, nurtured, learnt and developed.
As you know, the concept of resilience is mainly applied to those children who perform relatively well in all psychological areas in an apparently adverse milieu in sociological terms.
As far as the issue of resilient children is concerned, it is worth distinguishing the concept of social milieu (e.g., resilient children's cultural and economic background) from the more subtle and delicate concept of psychological milieu (e.g., the way, authoritarian or authoritative, parents use to socialize their children).
The huge literature on resilient children has shown that they can be born and grow up in a relatively poor social environment, but be born and grow up in a relatively rich psychological environment. More precisely, such research has conspicuously shown that, regardless of their social environment, parents of resilient children are nurturing and maintain between them stable emotional relationships.
To sum up, the distinction between social environment and psychological milieu is of paramount importance to understand the existence of the psychological phenomenon of resilience in general and resident children in particular.
I hope this helps.
You are welcome. It was my pleasure to participate in your thread.
