I am currently researching a PhD on Resilience to help young children to acknowledge and develop their resiliency skills and find coping strategies so that they will be able to overcome adversity later in life. I would like to cite both your references if possible please? – Are they in any of your published work?

I have already said that Shakespeare uses it as a personality flaw and proceeded to say how Dickens uses young people and the poor to epitomise resiliency and Hardy personifies women as constantly overcoming adversity.
I have one article published to date on coping strategies for young people who self harm:
