Abstract
- Objectives: Despite its high appeal, the concept of resilience remains unclear. Current definitions include a process approach, but most resilience scales remain trait-based. This study assessed implicit concepts of researchers in an interdisciplinary research group in order to develop a process-based model of resilience. Methods: Expert interviews were conducted with nine experienced researchers from the fields of theology, medicine, and philosophy and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: Categories are classified as predictive, process-related or outcome-related. Central elements in the process are the articulation and acceptance of negative experiences as well as a narrativization and meaningful integration of experiences. Conclusions: Based on the categories, a working definition for a process-oriented resilience model is created.The categories show proximity to known elements and goals of psychotherapy. The reinterpretation of resilience as a process of conscious "moving forward" (Yahuda) instead of an unattainable "hero ideal" can be helpful for psychotherapy patients.
