The term ‘resilience’ has been imported from the language of physics and is used to designate the capacity of a material or body to suffer stress or the imposition of external pressure and return to its original state without becoming deformed after the stimulus of the stressor is withdrawn. In a transdisciplinary context, this term is also used in physiology and psychology to refer to a person’s capacity to resist adversity without developing physical, psychological or social disabilities.
