Rosenau (1869–1946) and the strategy of fear management in the sphere of public health AB - The American epidemiologist Milton J. Rosenau – one of the pioneers of public health – is the author of the concept of “conquest of fear”, which stimulated the development of preventive medicine. However, this concept was in fact a kind of strategy of fear management and as such necessarily led to the gradual domination of preventive pro-health strategies by the permanent therapy strategies. The negative consequences of this strategy can be read in the main work of Rosenau, a preventive medicine textbook, and were presented in a literary form by the French writer Jules Romains.
