The goal of prevention

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prevention has been integrated into the field of clinical psychology as a major goal. Clinical psychologists work to identify and prevent mental health issues before they become severe, and to promote healthy behaviors and resilience. Positive psychology does not negate the goal of prevention, but rather focuses on the enhancement of well-being and positive functioning. While there may be specific areas, such as pediatrics and health psychology, where prevention efforts have been more successful or remain ongoing, this does not negate the overall goal of prevention in clinical psychology. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
