Community Clinical Psychology and its inclusion in the integrated scientific paradigms in the field of prevention at the Community level

Abstract

AbstractThe philosophy and practice of prevention are the set of actions and attitudes that help individuals and groups in empowering themselves and in greater mental resilience. Clinical Psychology in the Community has been and is the springboard for research and understanding of human behaviors of mental distress in conjunction with the environment.It can also provide the necessary methodological elements for understanding and interpretation to the role of conscious and unconscious emotions, considered as determinants of individual and social life. Drug abuse has matured the need to establish prevention structures in the community in various countries. The experience of the Psychosocial Health Prevention project, as a philosophy and practice in Greece through an institutional framework can be a trigger for scientific dialogue and awareness raising of local authorities in other countries as well, as people today are suffering from the psychological consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic of health.
