Practice Notes #25—Resilience in Maltreated Children, Winter 2015
Authors: A. Tseng, K. Barry, T. LaLiberte

Child maltreatment exemplifies one of the most harmful and stressful challenges to confront children today. Although the experience of abuse or neglect has a severe impact on most children, not all maltreated children are negatively affected to the same degree. Examining how and why certain maltreated children show resilience despite adverse conditions may lead to key insights into the complex processes that result in vastly different developmental outcomes.
