Prevention and Psychoeducation in Counseling Psychology

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

The history of prevention and its long role in counseling psychology are discussed in this chapter. Traditional definitions of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention are provided, as well as newer definitions that insist that true prevention must occur before the onset of a diagnosable disorder. We further discuss what constitutes a successful prevention program, prevention's role in training in counseling psychology programs, and selected examples of recent prevention programs. Finally, the closely related construct of psychoeducation is discussed, along with applications of best practice in this area. Application to current societal problems is provided.
