The objective of the present paper is to make a historic-critical approach to the concept of vulnerability. For this purpose an analysis is made of how invulnerable subjects are regarded from the Greco-Roman culture until the present day. Reference is made to western culture only. Various texts are p[esented in which emphasis on invulnerable individuals is shown. Therefore, action research regarding subjects resistant to adversity is not something new in present-day psychiatric or psychological research. It is concluded that concern for invulnerable subjects runs level with the history of the right against disease and human suffering.
