Psychodynamische Prävention psychischer Störungen

The prevention of mental disorders refers to all measures that prevent first-time illnesses or relapses and improve existing suffering. Psychodynamic prevention adds a focus on conflicts, affects, relationships, and developmental trajectories to this field. Therefore, psychodynamic prevention relates to psychodynamic and transgenerational mechanisms involved in the emergence and maintenance of mental disorders, as well as specific challenges of behavior change. After an introduction to the fundamentals of prevention theory, the second part of the book will focus on concrete prevention approaches. We have categorized these into universal, selective, and indicated prevention programs. Each program is presented with its core ideas, concrete implementation, and previous evaluations. With this, we aim to provide readers with a compact overview of the current diversity of psychodynamic prevention approaches.
