Více o knize

This report by our working group describes Antonovsky's concept (1923-1994) of salutogenesis and documents its scientific treatment. We have attempted to make the basic ideas of the concept understandable and present them within the context of the historical development of the health sciences. The report was written to provide a clear, concise answer to the following questions: - What are the central statements and assumptions of the model? - What importance do the health sciences attach to this concept? - Which empirical evidence is available to support the concept? - Which conclusions can be drawn for research and for medical, psychosocial and preventive care ?
