This first book in the Prevention Practice Kit overviews the
prevention field and Kit contents, and highlights key points
emerging through the historical evolution of prevention. It gives
special attention to elements that are infused throughout all
books: a systemic, ecological approach and community and
multi-disciplinary collaboration. Essential competencies needed for
delivering prevention programs are identified, such as the
collaborative attitude and skills necessary to cross boundaries
between health and mental health professionals and between
scientific and community experts. All this attention to prevention
concepts and skills culminates in an extensive application of
prevention focused on bullying, so that readers can see an
illustration of how prevention practice can occur. Finally, to
further boost applied practice, examples are sprinkled throughout
the book accompanied by a set of learning exercises. An extensive
set of references concludes the book. This book is part of the
Prevention Practice Kit: Action Guides for Mental Health, a
collection of eight books each authored by scholars in the specific
field of prevention and edited by Dr. Robert K. Conyne and Dr.
Arthur M. Horne. The books in the collection conform to the
editors' outline to promote a consistent reading experience.
Designed to provide human services practitioners, counselors,
psychologists, social workers, instructors, and students with
concrete direction for spreading and improving the practice of
prevention, the series provides thorough coverage of prevention
application including a general overview of prevention, best
practices, diversity and cultural relevance, psychoeducational
groups, consultation, program development and evaluation, evidence
base, and public policy. This book is endorsed by the Prevention
Section of the Society of Counseling Psychology of the American
Psychological Association. Fifty percent of all royalties are
donated to Division 17 of the APA.
