Comprehensive overview of salutogenesis and its contribution to health promotion theory
Written by thought leaders at the International Union for Health Promotion and Education
Features a major section summarizing the research in salutogenesis in non-English literatures


This in-depth survey of salutogenesis shows the breadth and strengths of this innovative perspective on health promotion, health care, and wellness. Background and historical chapters trace the development of the salutogenic model of health, and flesh out the central concepts, most notably generalized resistance resources and the sense of coherence, that differentiate it from pathogenesis. From there, experts describe a range of real-world applications within and outside health contexts, from positive psychology to geriatrics, from small towns to corrections facilities, and from school and workplace to professional training. Perspectives from scholars publishing in languages other than English show the global relevance of the field.
Among the topics in the Handbook:
· Emerging ideas relevant to the salutogenic model of health
· Specific resistance resources in the salutogenic model of health
· The sense of coherence and its measurement
· The application of salutogenesis in communities and neighborhoods
· The application of salutogenesis to health development in youth with chronic conditions
· The application of salutogenesis in mental health care settings
The Handbook of Salutogenesis summarizes an increasingly salient field for graduate and professional students of public health, nursing, psychology, and medicine, and for their instructors. It will also appeal to health-related academicians and professionals who wish to have a thorough grounding in the topic.
