Abstract

Within the framework of studying the characteristic of psychological resilience as a developmental phenomenon, the "Trauma–Resilience Model" in children is considered a psychological approach linked to a structured organization of the psychological development process. This model highlights a set of negative factors whose impact is assumed to be mitigated by the presence of constructive protective factors in the child. This, in turn, enables the child to mobilize various defense mechanisms to confront external traumas.


This article aims to clarify the role of resilience in children who have experienced a specific trauma, and how they construct a personalized resistance model to cope with various crises.
