- W2186809596 abstract "It is widely acknowledged that mental factors may influence physical functioning and that psychological well-being works positively on physical health. This idea does not only live among adherents of holistic medicine, it also has a firm root in academic psychology. There is good evidence for the negative effects of mental distress on physical health, e.g. on depression, anxiety and hostility, and there are also indications of the beneficial effects of positive mental states, such as positive affect (Zautra, 2003). In this context, it is commonly assumed that happiness is conducive to physical health. It is believed that happiness helps to heal the sick and that it protects people in good healthy against getting ill. In this view, health-care should not only be concerned with illness, it should also be concerned with wider quality-of-life. This view is reflected in broad definitions of health, such as the World Health Organization’s definition of health as a state of general physical, mental and social well-being and not only the absence of illness and defect (Seedhouse 1996, p. 41). In this line it is also asserted that current health education may be counterproductive because it puts a damper on enjoyable things such as smoking and drinking (Warburton, 1994, 1996). Yet, there are also different notes. For instance, VanDam (1989) argues that positive attitudes cannot stop serious illness and that the idea of ‘fighting cancer’ with happiness is a mere illusion that blames the victim. Several studies have indeed failed to find longer survival times among happy cancer" @default.
