Guest, Y. (2015) http://eprints.uwe.ac.uk/24515/ A psycho-social exploration of the impact of transracial adoption over the life span Dr Yvon Guest Yvon2.guest@uwe.ac.uk Guest, Y. (2015) http://eprints.uwe.ac.uk/24515/

Resilience – bouncing back from adversity

Resilience – bending but not breaking?

Cumulative trauma – broken and resilient

Resilience - surviving and beyond surviving Surviving - more threats than resources (internal and external) Beyond surviving – more resources than threats (internal and external)

A resource that lasts a life time – the shadow of the object

Threats that last a life time - the black hole

The psycho-social dynamics of resilience in a transracial placement External threats – racism, overt and benign Internal threats – cumulative trauma (Faustian pact) External resources – education, privilege, stability Internal resources – feelings of self worth, aspirations

20 something surviving in some areas of life but not others Success in education A volcano of cumulative trauma erupts Am I going to make it to 30? A creative working life

Interviews always throw up the unexpected!
