Abstract

The Health Protection/Health Promotion Model is reviewed and reformulated. The original model had the following two shortcomings: a) it was largely designed for acute illness and therefore did not adequately reflect the needs of clients experiencing chronic illnesses and b) it did not consider the approaches brought on by the positive psychology movement. Thus, the reformulated Health Protection/Health Promotion Model has been altered in two substantive ways. First, it attempts to better reflect the needs of clients with chronic illnesses; second, it has added positive psychology to extend the theoretical foundation of the initial Health Protection/Health Promotion Model.
