ABSTRACT
Resilience in psychology is related to the positive capacity of people to cope with stress and catastrophe. Survival means not only physical survival, but implies keeping something intact. Resilience, therefore, concerns positive emotions and capacities. Resilience is, from the perspective of emotions, maybe more about capacities to deal with negative emotions and about strength to implement and be an agent on one's life. Beneath or beyond resilience, a silent depletion may set in, where resources are diminished and mental and biological processes are slowed down. Resilience is about capacities, predispositions, support, and chance. A. Alayarian, have referred to the importance of early relationship experiences and point to the possibility of studying attachment as a possible mediating element in development of resilience. Studies have shown that survival and resilience are dependent on how the traumatized person is met afterwards.
