The Handbook of Salutogenesis

Maurice B. Mittelmark

This is a two-page summary of the entire book, and explains the rationale for a new edition so soon after the 1st edition. It also brags a bit about the popularity of the 1st edition.

 

Bengt Lindström

This new chapter gives Bengt a chance to tell the recent history of salutogenesis' development as a scientific arena, which only he can do justice to. It indicates names, places, events, and key developments that are the mileposts of our field’s development since the mid-1990’s.

 

Maurice B Mittelmark and Georg F. Bauer

This returning chapter gets a very light polishing.

 

Avishai Antonovsky and Shifra Sagy

This returning chapter gets a very light polishing.

 

Eva Langeland

This returning chapter gets a very light polishing. Eva takes over as sole author, with a footnote thanking the original contributions of Hege Vinje and Torill Bull, both of whom are unavailable this time round, and both of whom have told us they are delighted that Eva is taking over the reins.

 

Georg F. Bauer

This new chapter gives Georg the opportunity to tell readers about our infrastructure to support salutogenesis’ development, and it is a sort of follow-up to Bengt’s earlier chapter. Georg promotes the Society and our web site.

 

The Sense of Coherence: measurement issues

Monica Eriksson and Paolo Contu

This returning chapter plans to be at least lightly polished, but perhaps the updated version is to be more extensive, with Paulo coming on as an enthusiastic new co-author (Maurice is coming off from his co-author role in the 1st edition).

 

Orly Idan, Monica Eriksson, Michal Al-Yagon and Ruca Maass

This returning chapter aims to be lightly polished.

 

Maurice B. Mittelmark, Marguerite Daniel and Helga Urke

 

This Part emphasizes the centrality of cultural contexts at all life course phases, and also the importance of learning in the life course.

A one-page overview of the highlights of this part; really just an abstract of the Part.

 

Claudia Meier Magistretti, Soo Downe, Shefaly Shorey, Bengt Lindström

 

Orly Idan, Orna Braun-Lewensohn, Bengt Lindström and Malka Margalit

This returning chapter gets a very light polishing.

Maria Koelen, Monica Eriksson and Mima Cattan

This returning chapter gets a very light polishing. Not sure if Mima is available this time.

 

Claudia Meier Magistretti, Bengt Lindström, Monica Eriksson

This new chapter may have co-authors, but it is still TBD.

Stephen Joseph and Shifra Sagy

A very light polishing of the 1st-edition chapter.

 

Geir Arild Espnes, Ruca Elisa Maass, Mathieu Roy, Delors Juvinyà Canal and Bengt Lindström

This is a new chapter proposed by Geir and with Ruca, Mathieu, Delors and Bengt expressing eagerness to contribute. Shall this chapter address only health politics, and/or political processes more generally? What about equity, social justice, equal opportunity? It should be more than just health if it is to in this Part. It is important for Geir and potential co-authors to discuss this thoroughly, in concert with Shifra, so we can decide where in the book it is really at home.

 

Trevor Hancock is to be contacted by Bengt Lindström about taking lead author responsibility for this chapter

 

This new chapter is centered on the ABCs of mental health project in Denmark, and hopefully also the Act-Belong-Commit project in Australia if Robert is interested in participating… Vibeke needs to contact him about this. Both programmes are mental health promotion campaigns using a community approach. Nina Helen Mjösund from Norway might be a good addition to this chapter, but she has not been contacted about this as yet. It is up to Vibeke to decide whether to contact Nina or not.

 

Ruca Elisa Karin Maass, Monica Lillefjell and Geir Arild Espnes

This most likely gets a light polishing.

 

Soo Downe (pending confirmation), Claudia Meier Magistretti, Bengt Lindström, Shefaly Shorey

 

Bengt Lindström and Helga Urke

This is a new chapter that Bengt and Helga are already in contact about, both ready and eager to collaborate on this.

 

Mélanie Levasseur

Digital health promotion and the advancement of salutogenesis

Pauline Bakibinga, Luis Saboga-Nunes, Georg F. Bauer

This new chapter was proposed some time ago (at our Zurich meeting) by Pauline, and Luis and Georg have indicated keen interest. Pauline needs to get a dialogue going between this author grouping to outline the contents of the chapter.

 

Vaandrager, L. Bonmati, A., Contu, P., Ortiz Barreda, G., Masanotti, G., Hofmeister, A., Boonekamp, G., Kennedy, L., Pocetta, G., Juvinya, D., Garista, P., Lindstrom, B. & Wrzesińska, M.

Maurice is delighted that this group has agreed to participate with a description of this capacity-building summer school on health promotion, in which salutogenesis has permeated every nook and cranny!

Dickson Amugsi, Pauline Backibinga, Dennis Matanda

This offering is from three of Maurice's former PhD students, from Ghana, Kenya and Uganda, a real lift for participation in the book from Africa!

 

Marguerite Daniel and Fungisai Puleng Gwanzura Ottemöller

This is from two of Maurice's closest colleagues here in Bergen, whose research is centered right on this topic.

 

Gaby Margarita Ortiz Barreda

Gaby plans to recruit co-authors; she is a new, very productive member of Maurice's Department.

 

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.
