As more studies reveal the positive relationships between resilience and aging well, mental health practitioners are increasingly interested in recognizing and strengthening resilience among aging Baby Boomers. Although there is much information on characteristics of resilience, there is very little research on assessing for resilience. This article presents a framework for assessing resilience among middle-aged and older adults that includes the Resilience Scale and open-ended questions to provide clients opportunities to reflect on and perhaps rediscover their resilience. This assessment framework may be useful for mental health practitioners using a strengths-based approach with their clients.
随着越来越多的研究揭示了心理韧性与健康老龄化之间的积极关系，心理健康从业者对识别和增强婴儿潮一代老年人的心理韧性越来越感兴趣。尽管有很多关于心理韧性特征的信息，但关于评估心理韧性的研究却非常少。本文提出了一个评估中老年人心理韧性的框架，其中包括心理韧性量表和开放式问题，以便为客户提供反思并可能重新发现自身心理韧性的机会。这个评估框架可能对采用基于优势方法对待客户的心理健康从业者有用。
