Abstract

---

Psychological resilience is the process that allows individuals, families and human groups to overcome their difficult situations, trauma and psychiatric disorders and helps them to continue their lives as they did before or better by showing a better mental functioning as a result of post-traumatic personal growth (Wagnild, 2011; Ionescu, 2013). The present theoretical article discusses the psychological resilience implications for workplace bullying victims. The literature describes this phenomenon as being that situation in which a person perceived herself as being persistently exposed to negative acts displayed by one or more than one person in the work context (Chirilă & Constantin, 2013). The theoretical study presented in this paper discusses the efficiency of three methods used to achieve psychological resilience: writing practices, narrative practices and bibliotherapy. As a conclusion, the study discusses the efficiency of these three methods from the perspective of a training programme targeted to workplace bullying victims in order to help them achieve personal resilience.

Keywords: Psychological resilience, Workplace bullying, Writing practices, Narrative practices, Bibliotherapy.
