"This is a splendid, sensitively written manuscript indicating
reflective and dialogical thinking moving in the direction of a
dialectical perspective. An important contribution is that the
author(s) argue that resilience may be collective in itself, and
that this idea remained under-explored." -Marie Wissing, North-West
University "Ebersohn provides the overarching framework for all of
the contributors by arguing for the importance of both a bottom-up,
crisis management perspective and a top-down, integrative
psychosocial perspective. And all of the research contributors
reflect in one way or the other on the significance of using
existing social institutions - especially schools - to deliver
interventions to children that will provide social support, bolster
coping skills, and therefore boost resilience. The traditional
medical model neglects these aspects of human development, a
deficiency made all that much clearer in the context of the
pandemic." -From the Foreword by Peter Salovey, PhD, Yale
University What new understandings concerning children and
significant others in their life-worlds have become apparent
because of the HIV&AIDS pandemic? This innovative book argues
that new insights on education and psychosocial aspects surface
when research in the realm of HIV&AIDS is viewed through a
positive psychology lens. By converging in-depth exploration and
description, the book pinpoints vital persons supporting children's
wellbeing, and posits changed roles due to pandemic-related
stressors. The significance of different education role-players
(children, teachers, caregivers, community-members) is addressed in
separate chapters, using pioneering theory and empirical data that
are integrated with dynamic case examples, visual data and
narratives. Ebersohn's edited book emphasises supportive persons
and networks as buffers children access to mediate their coping
when confronted by HIV&AIDS-related stressors. Throughout, the
links between psychosocial support, changed roles and
responsibilities, and resilience in the advent of adversity are
clearly and thoughtfully demonstrated. A concluding chapter
questions why and what happens to children's wellbeing when society
fails to provide supportive networks and services.
