Concept of Health

The wide­ly accept­ed con­cept of salu­to­ge­ne­sis sees health and dise­a­se as two poles on a con­ti­nu­um. Rather than a clear deli­mi­ta­ti­on of the­se con­cepts and the deve­lo­p­ment of dise­a­se, the health con­cept is about the emer­gence and main­ten­an­ce of health and resi­li­ence. Health and resi­li­ence ari­se accor­ding to this approach depen­ding on the fol­lo­wing 3 fac­tors. The­se are:

1. Our con­fi­dence that we can find an expl­ana­ti­on for things that hap­pens to us in life.
(World and self-understanding)

2. Our con­fi­dence that we have enough strength (resour­ces) to over­co­me all the chal­lenges of life.
(Suc­cessful management)

3. Our con­fi­dence that our efforts and our par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on in life will lead to wort­hwhile results.
(Sen­se in life)

My efforts focus on the deve­lo­p­ment of the­se three basic requi­re­ments for the health and well-being of my patients.
