In considering resilience to stress there are several key organizing principles that will aid both research and understanding. Understanding resilience is critical to illumination of the stress process, be it for purposes of research, policy, or intervention. Bonanno, Romero, and Klein (this issue) provide an excellent review of thinking on resilience and delineate several key foci that require future attention. In particular, Bonanno et al.(this issue) aid the study and understanding of resilience by outlining the temporal elements of resilience. They also insightfully push the focus of resilience beyond just the individual level, to the level of the family and community. In their paper, they state that their “elemental approach provides a ready framework for integrating the various meanings of psychological resilience into a single unfolding process.” What we think can further guide this field is the introduction of several key constructs that help describe key organizing principles about resilience that map out the critical constructs and processes that characterize resilience. To be clear, many of these concepts have been discussed in some form by Bonanno in his seminal work on resilience (Bonanno, 2004; 2005; Bonanno, Galea, Bucciarelli, & Vlahov, 2006; Bonanno, Brewin, Kaniasty & La Greca, 2010), or have been spurred on our part by considering his thoughts and studies of resilience carefully (Hobfoll, 2011). However, we think we have mined, refined, and polished some of the ideas in a way that may further contribute to the field. Together with the contributions of Bonanno et al.(this issue), these might aid the advancement of knowledge on withstanding major and traumatic stressors and recovery in the face of major and traumatic stressors.
