Abstract The primary aim of this paper was to explore and increase knowledge about health-promoting processes among individuals participating in a salutogenic talk-therapy group using a qualitative explorative design. Data were collected through 11 individual interviews and one focus group interview. The informants were five women and two men participating in a salutogenic talk-therapy group over a period of one year. A general structure was identified as ‘A richer life’, which consisted of three main analysis-derived themes: ‘A well-functioning group’, ‘Who am I?’, ‘A community of like-minded individuals’. The main impression provided by these data is that although participants expressed their suffering and struggles with mental health problems, attending the group positively affected their lives and well-being. A good salutogenic group climate with high quality of social support, a redefinition of tension, and active participation seem crucial for initiating and promoting salutogenic processes.

建立致健康能力：来自致健康言语治疗小组的一年经验

摘要本文的主要目的是使用定性的探索性设计，探索并增加参与致健康言语治疗小组的人们的健康促进过程知识。通过11次个人访谈和一次焦点小组访谈收集了数据。线人为五名妇女和两名男子，他们参加了为期一年的有益健康的谈话治疗小组。总体结构被确定为“更丰富的生活”，它由三个主要的分析主题组成：“运作良好的小组”，“我是谁”，“志同道合的个人社区”。这些数据给人的主要印象是，尽管参与者表达了他们在精神健康问题上的苦难和挣扎，但参加该小组对他们的生活和福祉产生了积极影响。
