TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Trauma, PTSD, and Resilience: A Review of the Literature JO - Trauma, violence, and abuse A1 - Agaibi, Christine E. A1 - Wilson, Jason P. SP - 195 EP - 216 VL - 6 IS - 3 N2 - Based on the available literature, this review article investigates the issue of resilience in relation to trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder. Resilient coping to extreme stress and trauma is a multifaceted phenomena characterized as a complex repertoire of behavioral tendencies. An integrative Person x Situation model is developed based on the literature that specifies the nature of interactions among five classes of variables: (a) personality, (b) affect regulation, (c) coping, (d) ego defenses, and (e) the utilization and mobilization of protective factors and resources to aid coping.
