A critical analysis of the concept of resilience in psychology

Abstract

The concept of resilience in the psychology is analyzed, with special emphasis in Ibero-American authors who used it in their research. I argue how, once the authors’ part of a logical confusion, this one become in a conceptual confusion, which in turn follows a methodological, con-cluding with one of interpretation confusions. A successive chain of confu-sions which allows justifying why resilience is a concept that is neither helpful nor relevant to psychology.
