| Popis: | The clinical practice of tomorrow already is being reshaped. Prevention will be as much a part of practice as treatment is now. Prevention practice will be based on exciting new scientific developments, such as new methods for identifying at-risk people, new empirically based interventions delivered in a variety of settings, innovative methods of engaging people and communities, and new outcome evaluation strategies. The complexity of the knowledge and skills that are necessary for the promotion of mental health and the prevention of the first onset of mental and behavioral disorders requires that psychiatrists and other mental health practitioners work together to formulate an integrated, science-based, biopsychosocial understanding of problems and their solutions.ABOUT THE AUTHORSPatricia J.
