Mental health promotion has become a central priority across Europe, engaging a wide range of organizations and professionals in preventive and preemptive efforts. Yet despite this considerable investment, a clear understanding of what works-and why-remains elusive. Programs are often implemented without solid theoretical grounding, while attempts to evaluate their effectiveness are hindered by complexity, ambiguity, and competing perspectives.This book explores the persistent gap between theory and practice in mental health promotion. It examines the tensions between generality, precision, and simplicity in psychological research, and how these challenges shape real-world interventions. Drawing attention to the often fragmented relationship between researchers and practitioners, it highlights the vicious circle in which theory becomes either too abstract to apply or too complex to generalize. It invites readers to rethink how knowledge is developed, applied, and evaluated in one of the most vital fields of contemporary public health.
