Inceste et facteurs de résilience

Impact strength is a current concept par excellence, but its definition still does not meet general agreement. Continuing the work of Bowlby, Cyrulnik participated in its use in the psychological and psychopathological fields of French speaking communities. The article reviews the different factors participating in impact strength: those linked to the individual whose neurobiological foundations are to be taken into account and those linked to the environment, whether they be in-family or outside the family. lit this report, the author develops his thoughts on the operating factors in specific cases of incest based on the clinical experience of a specialized team in the evaluation and the treatment of the situations of ill-treatment of children.
