			Why do some adolescents adjust or recover and others do not? Now, there is a brief tool to profile personal strengths, as well as vulnerability that is theoretically based and psychometrically sound.

			Resiliency Scales for Children and Adolescents contains:

			Three stand-alone scales of 19&ndash;24 questions each. Each scale contains subscales that are theoretically grounded.

			<ol>
				<li>Sense of Mastery Scale: Optimism, Self-Efficacy, Adaptability</li>
				<li>Sense of Relatedness Scale: Trust, Support, Comfort, Tolerance</li>
				<li>Emotional Reactivity Scale: Sensitivity, Recovery, Impairment</li>
			</ol>

			<h3>Why assess resiliency?</h3>

			<ul>
				<li>Build positive psychology into your assessment practice.</li>
				<li>Resiliency levels influence expected outcomes of many disorders.</li>
				<li>Resiliency skills can be taught as an intervention strategy.</li>
				<li>Patterns of strengths within the resiliency domain (mastery, relatedness, reactivity) can influence intervention goals.</li>
				<li>Children with depression or anxiety may have different prognoses and lengths of care depending on their level of resiliency.</li>
				<li>Victims of school bullying may respond differently depending on their resiliency profile.</li>
				<li>Course of care may vary with resiliency profile for&nbsp;children with adjustment reactions to divorce, loss, or other life events.</li>
				<li>Teens with posttraumatic stress disorder may respond differently depending on their resiliency profile.</li>
				<li>Use together with any symptom based measure to obtain a balanced view of the teen.</li>
			</ul>
