Out of the Woods: Tales of Resilient Teens, by Stuart T. Hauser, Joseph P. Allen, and Eve Golden. Cambridge: Harvard University Press. 2006.

The Times Literary Supplement says that Out of the Woods "blasts an exciting new route to understanding the process of human resilience."

And from Nature: "Stories of individuals overcoming great obstacles to succeed in life no doubt cast their spell on audiences long before they were recorded in books. The power such tales hold will captivate readers of Out of the Woods. . . . The book serves as a powerful reminder of the phenomenon of resilience and the compelling rationale for understanding resilience well enough to facilitate it." (Ann S. Masten in Nature, volume 443, 14 September 2006 -- the review is not available online except to subscribers).

From the jacket:

"This is one of the most important books on recovery from teenage mental illness that I have ever seen. Out of the Woods shows powerfully that the question of who succeeds and who fails to recover is a question not for biochemical analysis and drug treatment, but for dedicated therapeutic faith and understanding. The more attention this powerful book gets, the better."
—Joanne Greenberg, author of I Never Promised You a Rose Garden

"A riveting account of how and why a group of very troubled teenagers were able to turn their lives around as they entered adulthood. The authors' impressive insight into these unexpected changes should bring hope and new understanding to educators and clinicians—and also to worried parents."
—Judith S. Wallerstein, author of What About the Kids? Raising Children Before, During, and After Divorce

"Resilience has been a puzzle. We have seen it as either the reflection of some positive trait—IQ, say—or the result of good experiences. This highly engaging book focuses on the processes associated with resilience. . . . Anyone working with young people will find much food for thought in this splendid book."
—Sir Michael Rutter, author of Helping Troubled Children

UPDATE: Out of the Woods is now (March 2008) out in paper from HUP.
