Committed to overcoming egocentrism ( i believe it is true, i always believed it was true) and socio-centrism thoughts (it"s true because we believe it is) Health as a norm or ideal: according to who: health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease. In the mid 20th century, there was a growing dissatisfaction with the biomedical model of health. Ivan illych concerned with iatrogenesis: believed medicine robbed us of our potential to cope. Ex. giving prescription drugs to people who are depressed, grieving when grieving is natural for humans: believed it often caused us (unintended) harm. Aaron antonovsky had growing interest in salutogenesis: believes we should focus on what facilitates health, not just the cause of the disease, emphasizes relationships between health, stress and coping.
