Synopsis "Resilience: How Your Inner Strength can set you Free From the Past "

"Cyrulink has healed people and countries." (The Times, London) Renowned French neuropsychiatrist and psychoanalyst Boris Cyrulnik's parents were deported to a concentration camp during the Second World War. They never returned. This early personal trauma at the age of five led Cyrulnik to his life's work helping individuals and countries come to terms with their pasts and forge ahead to create positive futures. It is his firm belief that trauma does not equal destiny-that, rather, we can find strength in the face of pain. Drawing on years of experience working around the globe with children who have been abused, orphaned, fought in wars and escaped genocide, Cyrulnik here tells many amazing and moving stories of individuals whose experiences prove that suffering, however appalling, can be the making of somebody rather than their destruction. This inspiring book teaches us that we can not only survive in the shadow of adversity-we can thrive.

Boris Cyrulnik was born in Bordeaux in 1937 into a Russian-origin Jewish family. His parents were victims of Nazism, and died in a concentration camp when he was still a child. This traumatic experience drove him to become a neuropsychiatrist and delve into the study of childhood traumas. He is the author of highly successful works, among which Los patitos feos stands out. He currently leads a research team at the Toulon hospital and is the director of studies at the university in that same city.
