Health is more than the absence of illness. According to Antonovsky's salutogenesis model, health depends on the sense of coherence - a feeling of trust in the comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness of events, relationships, and life situations. Life experience and the ability to cope with stress also influence the health-illness continuum. This book explains the various health models developed from the concept of salutogenesis and makes them applicable for the practice of different health professions. For his contributions to the advancement of psychotherapy, Prof. Nossrat Peseschkian was recently awarded the Federal Cross of Merit.
