Life Course of Trauma and Resilience offers a profound exploration into the cultural psychology of resilience throughout the human life course. Drawing from the publicly available autobiography of Danish author Lisbeth Zornig, this book delves into the resilience that emerges from a series of psychologically dramatic and traumatic life events. By analyzing full life courses through idiographic science, this work leverages autobiographies where all original materials are in the public domain.

The chapters provide an in-depth examination of the construction of the self in relation to others, the pivotal role of education, and the value of imagination as both a developmental tool and a coping mechanism. Additionally, the book explores the intricate connection between mind, body, and trauma. This innovative approach to the cultural psychology of life course analysis introduces new methodological tools that combine macrogenetic analysis with the study of how semiotic mediators help individuals develop new personal strengths to navigate their lives.

Whether you are a scholar, practitioner, or someone interested in the dynamics of resilience, Life Course of Trauma and Resilience presents a comprehensive and insightful perspective on how individuals can overcome adversity and build resilience through their life journeys.

Caroline Skov Vestbjerg is a psychologist in clinical practice in Denmark, working in the field of Forensic Psychiatry, and a board member of the Danish Psychological Union, Denmark.
