Focusing on resilience as a social construct, this book presents a comprehensive theory and practical model for working with high-risk youth in various settings. Ungar examines how adolescents labeled as dangerous or deviant navigate their challenges through discursive empowerment, using case studies to illustrate their coping strategies. By giving voice to these youths, he challenges the notion of a 'youth problem' and advocates for interventions that build on their unique constructions of resilience, offering a fresh perspective in the field.
