Believe it or not, I liked this book so much that after typing a long review on it once before, I accidently erased my review and I have now gone the extra mile in a very busy practice to write to you about this exceptional book. I have spent the last 6 months researching the literature on health promotion for my patients with Multiple Sclerosis. I am a member of a medical team developing a large scale 'health promoting behavior'(hpb) research and training center at a large university hospital. I wandered into the SCI literature and BEHOLD! All the months that I had spent teasing this aspect and then that apsect of hpb's were, for the most part, contained in this one very deceivingly simple book. Likewise, my explorations on how to create a program designed to maximize hpb's would have been immensely easier had I found this title first! I now use it to organize all the other information that I have found in other sources. The breadth of the material is neatly organized into numerous and powerfully informative tables and diagrams. I did not find a single topic relevant to the consumer and the healthcare professional uncovered. For it's purpose, this dynamo of a book is "just what the doctor ordered." My only problem now is HOW DO I ORGANIZE OUR PROGRAM WITHOUT COMPLETELY PLAGIARIZING INDIRA S. LANIG!
