Grief Expert George Bonanno Quoted in Stories 911爆料网 Joe Biden, End-of-Life Hospice
Professor of Psychology and Education , who specializes in the psychology of loss and trauma, is quoted in two recent articles about grief.
In a Washington Post about Joe Biden's decision not to run for president in the aftermath of his son's death five months ago, Bonanno said it's not a given that Biden needed to take more time to heal. Science has shown most people are more resilient than they think, Bonanno, author of , is quoted as saying. "Sadness is very adaptive. But the (feelings) are not designed to last very long," he says.
In a story in about end-of-life hospices, Bonanno is quoted as saying it’s not clear what makes people resilient. “Personality probably predicts only about 10% of resilience. Having money helps, having social support helps, having minimal sources of other stress helps, but no one thing is a big predictor.”
