ABSTRACT
How is prevention actually done? What works? Why do these things work? This section is motivated by such questions. Each prevention program, then, will be described using the following format:
• What is it? • How is it done? • What works? • Why does it work? • Implications for counselors and other helpers • Conclusion • Issues for Reflection and Discussion
As I wrote the first edition of this book in 1987, there were few examples of excellent prevention programs in mental health and virtually no organized access sources. Over the intervening years, both situations have markedly changed for the better.
