The concept of psychological resilience through the lens of case studies and interventions. Drawing upon empirical research and clinical practice, it explores how individuals navigate and overcome adversity, highlighting factors that contribute to resilience such as social support, coping strategies, and personal strengths. Case studies illustrate diverse experiences of resilience across different contexts, emphasizing the role of therapeutic interventions in fostering adaptive responses to challenges. By synthesizing theoretical insights with practical examples, this paper aims to deepen understanding of resilience processes and inform effective therapeutic approaches in clinical psychology. Through a review of literature and real-life examples, the paper explores how individuals develop resilience capacities in response to significant life stressors. It analyzes key components of resilience, including cognitive appraisal, emotional regulation, and interpersonal relationships, and evaluates therapeutic interventions that promote resilience building. By integrating theoretical perspectives with practical insights, this research contributes to enhancing clinical strategies aimed at supporting resilience development across diverse populations.
