| Summary: | Eustress concept was less used by researches at the end of XX century and really has disapeared from glossaires of books of Psychosomatics, Health Psychology and Behavioural Medicine. Fortunately, some authors have renewed last years this concept adding other nuances and original peculiarities benefical for physical and mental health. This paper exemplifies, among these contributions, the strong relation of eustress with immunogenic traits (as self efficiency) and Flow concept, and some humoral markers of eustress (serotonine, oxytocine, endorphines, interferon gamma etc.). Own author’s opinion suggests a strong link between eustress and psychological well being, and underlines the role of eustress as a main component of the new Fava‘s psychotherapy, Well Being Therapy. |
