TL;DR: The question of whether resilience-building interventions can actually make people more resilient is critically evaluated, and a set of prototypical outcome patterns are identified that show multiple independent predictors of resilient outcomes.

TL;DR: Modifications in the bereavement V code and refinement of bereavement exclusions in major depression and other disorders are discussed.

TL;DR: The psychological impact of COVID-19 lockdowns is small in magnitude and highly heterogeneous, suggesting that lockdowns do not have uniformly detrimental effects on mental health and that most people are psychologically resilient to their effects.

TL;DR: It is surprising that some factors that promote resilience to potentially traumatic events may be maladaptive in other contexts, whereas other factors are more broadly adaptive.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the limitations of these perspectives and argue for a broader theoretical approach that takes into account the natural heterogeneity of traumareactions over time, and identify prototypical patterns or trajectoriesof trauma reaction that include chronic dysfunction, but also delayed reactions, recovery, and psycho-logical resilience.
