By embracing a preventive approach to psychosocial problems, the authors aim to build capacity in individuals, schools, communities, and organizations – not just to strengthen people and settings, but also to address the injustices that are often the root cause of the problems many of us face. The data-driven, science-based, and practice-oriented approach used in this book will prove invaluable to students and practitioners of prevention alike. This is a most timely volume, chock-full of guidelines, resources, and up-to-date research. I am eager to use this book in my research, practice, and teaching.' Isaac Prilleltensky, University of Miami 'Prevention approaches to mental health and quality-of-life issues have been with us for decades, but An Ounce of Prevention takes the emphasis to the next level: accentuating the importance of applying theoretically founded approaches with strong empirical support to demonstrate how a new prevention emphasis can – and will – have a dramatic impact on the health and wellness of so many.' Arthur (Andy) Horne, Dean Emeritus and Distinguished Research Professor, University of Georgia 'An Ounce of Prevention: Evidence-Based Prevention for Counseling and Psychology, edited by outstanding scholar Sally M. Hage, is an indispensable, compelling resource that includes contributions from a variety of experts in evidenced-based prevention programs, for students, practitioners, researchers, educators, and policymakers to use in developing and implementing prevention strategies. It is an inspiring guide that highlights model programs in prevention efforts that can bolster our important work for the field of health service psychology, such as in eating disorders, bullying, trauma, and mental distress. In addition to articulating primary, secondary, and tertiary forms of prevention efforts, the authors use two types of prevention that include environmental and systemic interventions that are designed to create social and health equity. This unique, powerful, and outstanding book describes the critical need for training and research in prevention as well.' Melba J. T. Vasquez, former President, American Psychological Association 'This multi-disciplinary volume presents well-researched and innovative prevention applications across different settings and diverse demographic groups, from childhood through adult retirement. It provides resources for further study and funding opportunities. Prevention interventions are presented in exemplary fashion by prominent scholars. The book is a must-read for new and seasoned professionals alike.' John L. Romano, Professor Emeritus, University of Minnesota Author InformationSally M. Hage is Professor of Psychology at Springfield College, USA.
