Dear colleagues,

theories and model may be good enough to help analyze and explain
human behavior, but they are never ever blueprints for shaping human
behavior.

It's one of the big misunderstandings floating around health promotors
that a psychological model or theory would help them change human
behavior. If that would be the case, why the hell do we still have people
who smoke, drink alcohol, use heroin, rape other people, or, like
President Bush, make stupid decisions?
