This second book in the Prevention Practice Kit provides
counselors, psychologists, and other mental health workers with
practical steps that need to be considered by prevention
practitioners as they engage with others in developing and
delivering prevention projects. A context for engaging in
prevention practice is provided, including discussion of how
prevention fits with traditional models of psychology, descriptions
of theoretical models for doing prevention practice, and examples
of empirically-supported prevention interventions. The reader will
learn about a new set of Prevention Guidelines being proposed to
the American Psychological Association, and why these
recommendations are important to consider. The book highlights the
essential aspects of collaboration, cultural relevance, social
justice, and program dissemination, and addresses knotty ethical
issues surrounding confidentiality in prevention and health
promotion efforts. In addition, the book provides information on
funding and readily available resources for prevention. Finally,
examples and activities are provided throughout the
book-accompanied by a set of learning exercises-to help readers
apply what they learn. 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.
