Psychotherapy and resilient personality

Review article

Abstract

Psychotherapy and positive relationships efficiently build resilience in the face of adversity. In this sense, different patterns of resilience appear in different patterns of behavior and personality, depending on the prevailing environmental conditions. However, the greater the environmental adversity, the less resistant factors appear. Patients tend to turn to psychotherapy when recovery strategies are not sustainable. Understanding the clinical benefit of a client's positive characteristics, such as resilience, can help provide a balanced perspective on psychotherapy in which the physician works to reduce stress and distress and promote positive traits. Overall, patients tended to have marked improvement from baseline in recovery, so there was a significant positive association between changes in flexibility and changes in self-efficacy between individuals.
