          Abstract

          O presente artigo apresenta a psicologia positiva como movimento de investigação de aspectos potencialmente saudáveis dos seres humanos, em oposição à psicologia tradicional e sua ênfase nos aspectos psicopatológicos. Dentre os fenômenos indicativos de vida saudável destaca-se a resiliência, por referir-se a processos que explicam a superação de adversidades, cujo discurso hegemônico foca o indivíduo. As pesquisas quantitativas colaboram para naturalizar a resiliência como capacidade humana, e os estudos em famílias trazem contribuições de pesquisas qualitativas realizadas na visão sistêmica, ecológica e de desenvolvimento. Consideradas as dificuldades metodológicas e as controvérsias ideológicas do conceito, sugere-se uma cautelosa investigação de sentido antes da aplicação do termo.

          Translated abstract

          The present work presents positive psychology as a movement that proposes the investigation of potentially healthy aspects of human beings in opposition to traditional psychology and its emphasis in psychopathology. Among the phenomena that indicate healthy life, resilience is distinguished by its references to processes that explain bouncing back to adversities whose hegemonic discourse is focused on the individual. The quantitative studies have contributed to the naturalization of resilience as a human capacity, and the family studies were identified as based on qualitative data within systemic, ecological and developmental perspectives. Having considered the methodological difficulties and the ideological controversies of the concept it is suggested a cautious investigation of meaning before the application of the term.

          Ordinary magic. Resilience processes in development.

          The study of resilience in development has overturned many negative assumptions and deficit-focused models about children growing up under the threat of disadvantage and adversity. The most surprising conclusion emerging from studies of these children is the ordinariness of resilience. An examination of converging findings from variable-focused and person-focused investigations of these phenomena suggests that resilience is common and that it usually arises from the normative functions of human adaptational systems, with the greatest threats to human development being those that compromise these protective systems. The conclusion that resilience is made of ordinary rather than extraordinary processes offers a more positive outlook on human development and adaptation, as well as direction for policy and practice aimed at enhancing the development of children at risk for problems and psychopathology.

            Psychosocial resilience and protective mechanisms.

            The concept of mechanisms that protect people against the psychological risks associated with adversity is discussed in relation to four main processes: reduction of risk impact, reduction of negative chain reactions, establishment and maintenance of self-esteem and self-efficacy, and opening up of opportunities. The mechanisms operating at key turning points in people's lives must be given special attention.
