Title: How do successful teens make sense of adversity?
Review: I work in Child Protective Services with families who are involved with this system for chronic neglect of their children. This book offers a look at some of the reasons parents rise above their childhood adversity. It offers the positive side of what goes wrong for so many kids as they grow to adulthood. These resilient teens had "connections to competent and caring adults", achieved "cognitive and self-regulation skills, positive views of self, and motivation to be effective in the environment." The authors use the kids' interview narratives, during inpatient and then as adults, to show how different kids make different sense of what happens to them over time, how some used adversity to reflect and make sense out of it and fit them into the context of their lives, and the others' (contrast group's) themes remained "frozen, fossils of childhood explanations that never quite grew up."
