Resilience: From PTSD to Hurricane Sandy

ResiliencePsychiatrists Steven Southwick of Yale and Dennis Charney of Mount Sinai tell the stories of POWs, 9/11 survivors, and ordinary people with debilitating diseases or grievous personal losses.

Weaving together the results of modern neurobiological research and the insights of two decades of clinical work with trauma survivors, Southwick and Charney identify ways to help individuals become more resilient.

How can resilience be taught?  How can their insights about individual mental health help us create resilient communities?
