The contributors' writings reveal a strong appreciation and gratitude for Albee's efforts in this continually changing field and reflect the current status, the history of, and the state-of-the art in the psychology of prevention. This book is concise, up-to-date, and highly valuable to researchers and practitioners alike. Among the topics addressed are substance abuse prevention; stress reduction; cardiovascular disease prevention; and the relationship between development, long-term prognosis, and the negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
