This is an extension of previous analyses comparing the content of health psychology journals with the content of journals in health education and clinical psychology. The present content analysis of two journals in health psychology and two journals in community psychology identified commonalities and differences between the two specialties as well as between the two community psychology journals.

This chapter traces the origins and historical development of health psychology and community psychology. In particular, the goals and methods of these fields are critically examined in the background of an interpretive turn in social sciences. It is observed that promoting health and healing from the standpoint of the end-users utilizing multi-disciplinary approaches and innovative qualitative and quantitative methodologies constitute the state-of-the-art focus in these fields. In light of this shift in the goals and methodologies, this chapter offers a critical appraisal of the emerging research trends in the Indian setting. The chapter ends with an emphasis on incorporating culture through the use of qualitative or ethnographic studies and conceptualization of suffering and healing within a framework informed by indigenous scholarship present in Indian thought systems.

Abstract. The Flensburg health psychology group takes a salutogenic perspective and aims at developing innovative health promotion approaches. It stands in the interdisciplinary context of health and educational sciences. Our focus in research is on both, stress processes and lay representations of health and illness in the context of salutogenic theories of health. Basic and applied research activities aim at developing subject-oriented approaches of prevention and health promotion that are designed to promote health resources and competencies in selected settings and target groups. Current research is concentrated on socially disadvantaged groups, on occupational groups and on men to develop tailored health promotion approaches that reach groups in need and which show sustainable effects.
