Leonard Jason is among the pre-eminent clinical-community behavioral health psychologists in the United States. He has edited or written 30 books and published over 900 articles and 100 book chapters in community psychology.

Early in my career, I wondered how I could bring a community psychology perspective to my work as a psychologist. And that is when I started thinking about prevention and policy-level interventions that focused on social justice.
