"While prevention tactics are commonly associated with children and adolescents, prevention research and practice is equally critical in adulthood. And that's why, for mental health practitioners, researchers, and students, no reference is more valuable than the Handbook of Preventive Interventions for Adults." "Full of practical insights and evidence-based findings, this resource brings together preeminent scholars who summarize the empirical literature and provide useful guidelines for a variety of disorders. Each chapter provides an introduction of the problem, along with related trends, incidence, risk factors, available interventions, and future research considerations." "The Handbook of Preventive Interventions for Adults is a call to action for practitioners to embrace a prevention mindset - one that promotes the health of an aging population, while reducing the serious personal and societal costs linked to preventable health and wellness issues."--Jacket.
