Distress and Psychopathology in the Context of Adversity and Resilience
摘要
Because the lack of psychopathology is often an indicator of positive adaptation, it is important to be familiar with the trauma- and stressor-related disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders to understand resilience. This chapter highlights the prevalence of traumatic events and their association with distress and psychopathological conditions, including acute stress disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and adjustment disorder. The SHINE resilience framework offers practical strategies for maintaining psychological well-being and fostering personal growth in the face of adversity. The key components of resilience include managing depressive and anxiety symptoms, embracing change, and focusing on positive experiences. The chapter concludes by setting the stage for a deeper exploration of each component of the SHINE framework in the subsequent chapters.
