The concept of resilience in the context of trauma research

Under the wrong conditions, traumatic events can lead to mental health disorders, depending on risk and protective factors. The development and progression of post-traumatic mental health symptoms are closely interlinked with the concept of resilience. This is shaped, among other things, by subjective experiences throughout one's lifetime, as well as by internal and external resources. The vulnerabilities of an individual are discussed in terms of various components relating to the consequences for resilient skills, and the connection between stressful stimuli and resilient or post-traumatic negative reactions is demonstrated using relevant studies and research approaches.
