This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. This is a multidisciplinary book on crises of all kinds from different parts of the world. Interesting? Not unless crises can be made to serve as opportunities for the future. Fifteen chapters present accounts of empirical research into personal and group crises where people have not just survived their losses and grief but have in most cases gone on to meaningful future growth. Tragedy from natural calamity, war, accident; crisis in the family and at work; despair from physical and spiritual displacement; helplessness from political and economic disenfranchisement – from Australia and America to Asia and Europe. These subjects receive expert multidisciplinary scrutiny with one common goal in mind. To account for the ways in which recovery and regrowth can take place. But this is not a book about the phoenix’s fable. It is empirical, evaluative, and pragmatic. It is about turning crises into opportunities.
