SALUTOGENESIS AND WELLNESS: ORIGINS OF HEALTH AND WELL-BEING, "megamot" - Behavioral Sciences Quarterly (published by Henrietta Szold Institute),
39:1-2 (May 1998),
199 pages (H, Es).

This volume is dedicated entirely to the salutogenic approach developed by the late
Professor Aaron Antonovsky. The salutogenic approach is an alternative
perspective to the traditional pathogenic model in social and health sciences. This
approach deals with internal or external resistance resources that can promote
health factors and help cope with daily tentions of individuals, groups or societies.
