Risk and Resilience

I found that this book really relied on a medical model for examining risk and resilience. Furthermore, much of the data and empirical work was derived outside of the U.S. Overall, good text for beginners attempting to define/conceptualize resilience across diverse populations.



Adolescence is often portrayed as an age of particular risk. Adolescents are not only considered a risk to themselves, but also to the rest of society. As a society, we are nervous of them, and consider them vulnerable, yet the seeds of successful and independent adult life are laid down in adolescence, and they need all the help and support that they can get at a challenging time.

Adolescents at Risk: Against the Odds looks in depth at some of the key risks faced by adolescents, and at some of the ways in which they can be alleviated. The book is structured according to the operational challenges the research informs.
