Abstract

Wellness is viewed as a continually evolving and changing process related to the developmental stages of man and the individual's completion of certain developmental tasks. Wellness differs from good health; it is a measurable process in which individuals actively participate to become more healthy. The index proposed here for assessing or measuring wellness is based upon the individual's completion of the minimal wellness tasks appropriate to his developmental stage.
