This is an especially long-awaited one, however: The topic of prevention in mental health has seldom received the focused attention it deserves.

The other contributing authors are equally well-suited to the subject matter—they approach it from a perspective that acknowledges the complex ties between prevention and social justice while calling for coordinated, evidence-based interventions that are well-grounded in theory and draw on cutting-edge science.
This is especially important considering that over the past two decades neuroscience research has contributed some fundamental support to conceptualizations of prevention such as that of George Albee, a clinical psychologist and former APA president who argued passionately for prevention during the second half of the 20th century.
