The Handbook of Youth Prevention Science describes current
research and practice in mental health preventive interventions for
youth. Traditional prevention research focused on preventing
specific disorders, e.g. substance abuse, conduct disorders, or
criminality. This produced "silos" of isolated knowledge about the
prevention of individual disorders without acknowledging the
overlapping goals, strategies, and impacts of prevention programs.
This Handbook reflects current research and practice by organizing
prevention science around comprehensive systems that reach across
all disorders and all institutions within a community. Throughout
the book, preventive interventions are seen as complementary
components of effective mental health programs, not as replacements
for therapeutic interventions.
This book is suitable for researchers, instructors and graduate
students in the child and adolescent mental health professions:
school psychology, school counseling, special education, school
social work, child clinical psychology and the libraries serving
them. It is also suitable for graduate course work in these
fields.
