It is understood that it is a quality that people have to adapt positively to emotionally difficult situations, however, since the time of the 60s there have been many changes that this term has undergone until today, initially resilience was considered as a natural condition of humans, but later social, community and cultural family elements were annexed, since according to research carried out, this is a social process in which the different aspects of the environment that surround the subject greatly influence.
Throughout history this word has had different uses, especially among the medical-psychological community. For the year 1995, the psychologist Emmy Werner gave three different uses to this term, the first was that of " post-traumatic recovery ", "good recovery despite the risk to society" and "control of skills despite constant stress ”. Later, in 2000, Dr. Emily Hunter described resilience as something between two poles, (optimal resilience and less than optimal resilience), however when adolescents are exposed to constant social risk and therefore respond in a less positive behaviors should be included with highlevel of dangerousness, emotional and social abandonment and violent survival tactics, in such case the most common prognosis is that of future adults who have adapted poorly.
Currently the use of the word resilience has been neglected a bit, this is because according to the experience taken over the years and the learning taken from each patient, they have allowed us to observe that it is not a capacity of the human beings but rather a process that contains a variety of elements. When any individual is going through a difficult time emotionally speaking, the environment, family, friends and even the person himself, are elements that greatly influence, that is why resilience cannot be seen as a capacity since rather it is the achievement of a process in which different elements intervene that help to get out of said problem in a very positive way and then learn from that event or situation.
