[Uncertainty, anticipation and resilience at the beginning of life: psychological approach].
The author argues for a clinic of second generation resilience based on the critic of initial fantasy of radical invulnerability. Exceeding this naive position allows to laying the foundations for a psychology and psychopathology of resilience. Clinical case attempts to demonstrate the potential strength of the subject are in the perinatal nest group. In this spiral of parenthood, becoming a human being and being a caregiver, the defence mechanism of anticipation (E. Vaillant) plays an essential role. Finally, the author speaks of life and death resilience to better understand not resilience but the resiliencies.
