Human beings have wide range of ability to adapt to the adverse life situations. Some individuals, despite being faced with the most pernicious of adversities, manage to avoid collapse and maintain healthy adjustment. Resilience, from the Latin resilire (to recoil or leap back), is a construct related to positive adaptation in the context of stress or adversity. In the physical sciences, resilience refers to the capacity to withstand strain without breaking, or to recover to original form, like a spring or rubber band. In human science it refers to the positive adaptation or the ability to maintain or regain mental health, despite experiencing adversity.
