From serious illness to natural disasters, humans turn to
communication as a major source of strength to help us bounce back
and to keep growing and thriving. Communicating Hope and Resilience
Across the Lifespan addresses the various ways in which
communication plays an important role in fostering hope and
resilience. Adopting a lifespan approach and offering a new
framework to expand our understanding of the concepts of "hope" and
"resilience" from a communication perspective, contributors
highlight the variety of "stressors" that people may encounter in
their lives. They examine connections between the cognitive
dimensions of hope such as self-worth, self-efficacy, and creative
problem solving. They look at the variety of messages that can
facilitate or inhibit experiencing hope in relationships, groups,
and organizations. Other contributors look at how communication
that can build strengths, enhance preparation, and model successful
adaptation to change has the potential to lessen the negative
impact of stress, demonstrating resilience. As an important
counterpoint to recent work focusing on what goes wrong in
interpersonal relationships, communication that has the potential
to uplift and facilitate responses to stressful circumstances is
emphasized throughout this volume. By offering a detailed
examination of how to communicate hope and resilience, this book
presents practical lessons for individuals, marriages, families,
relationship experts, as well as a variety of other practitioners.
