This open access book is a thorough update and expansion of the
2017 edition of The Handbook of Salutogenesis, responding to the
rapidly growing salutogenesis research and application arena.
Revised and updated from the first edition are background and
historical chapters that 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 salutogenesis from pathogenesis. From there, experts
describe a range of real-world applications within and outside
health contexts. Many new chapters emphasize intervention research
findings. Readers will find numerous practical examples of how to
implement salutogenesis to enhance the health and well-being of
families, infants and young children, adolescents, unemployed young
people, pre-retirement adults, and older people. A dedicated
section addresses how salutogenesis helps tackle vulnerability,
with chapters on at-risk children, migrants, prisoners, emergency
workers, and disaster-stricken communities. Wide-ranging coverage
includes new topics beyond health, like intergroup conflict,
politics and policy-making, and architecture. The book also focuses
on applying salutogenesis in birth and neonatal care clinics,
hospitals and primary care, schools and universities, workplaces,
and towns and cities. A special section focuses on developments in
salutogenesis methods and theory. With its comprehensive coverage,
The Handbook of Salutogenesis, 2nd Edition, is the standard
reference for researchers, practitioners, and health policy-makers
who wish to have a thorough grounding in the topic. It is also
written to support post-graduate education courses and self-study
in public health, nursing, psychology, medicine, and social
sciences.
