Description
This volume presents a group of exemplary prevention programmes, documents their accomplishments and provides models for the future development of other programmes. Each of the contributors has gone beyond the stage of theorising and model building to translate ideas into fully operating programmes which have been evaluated and demonstrated to be effective.
The prevention/promotion efforts presented, consider the well being of individuals, the family unit as a whole and broader societal structures in which families are embedded. The focus is on both normative and non normative family transitions through the life span of the family.
