Book excerpt: A Psychologist's Proactive Guide to Managed Mental Health Care offers a concise overview of the evolution of managed mental health care and its impact on the working lives of clinical and counseling psychologists.

Their tone is optimistic rather than pessimistic; as they look at developments others have only deplored, they see potential roles and opportunities for growth for psychologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equips psychologists, mental health professionals, and trainees to work effectively in a primary care setting - the principal site today for psychiatric care, behavioral health risk reduction, and psychological treatment of physical or functional complaints. The primary care setting has a "culture" that is very distinct from more traditional mental health settings, and so the first part of this book teaches both professional clinicians and students about the norms, communication styles, social rituals, and roles they need to be familiar with to be effective psychologists in primary care. Psychological therapies in primary care must be symptom-focused and brief. A broad-based epidemiological perspective is also necessary to address mood and anxiety disorders, medical nonadherence, and health risk behaviors such as alcohol abuse and smoking among a large number of patients. Core chapters in the book therefore describe counseling techniques developed specifically for primary care such as the Four A's and BATHE, the Transtheoretical Model (TM), adaptations of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Problem-Solving Therapy (PSA), as well as cross-cultural considerations and consultations as a mental health intervention. Equipped with these strategies and a deeper appreciation of primary care culture, readers will be well placed to adapt their clinical skills to this challenging and rewarding health care setting.

Download or read book The Primary Care Toolkit written by Larry James and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-16 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated care is receiving a lot of attention from clinicians, administrators, policy makers, and researchers. Given the current healthcare crises in the United States, where costs, quality, and access to care are of particular concern, many are looking for new and better ways of delivering behavioral health services. Integrating behavioral health into primary care medical settings has been shown to: (1) produce healthier patients; (2) produce medical savings; (3) produce higher patient satisfaction; (4) leverage the primary care physician’s time so that they can be more productive; and (5) increase physician satisfaction. For these reasons this is an emerging paradigm with a lot of interest and momentum. For example, the President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health has recently endorsed redesigning the mental health system so that much of this is integrated into primary care medicine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ask for a definition of primary care, and you are likely to hear as many answers as there are health care professionals in your survey. Primary Care fills this gap with a detailed definition already adopted by professional organizations and praised at recent conferences. This volume makes recommendations for improving primary care, building its organization, financing, infrastructure, and knowledge baseâ€"as well as developing a way of thinking and acting for primary care clinicians. Are there enough primary care doctors? Are they merely gatekeepers? Is the traditional relationship between patient and doctor outmoded? The committee draws conclusions about these and other controversies in a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion that covers: The scope of primary care. Its philosophical underpinnings. Its value to the patient and the community. Its impact on cost, access, and quality. This volume discusses the needs of special populations, the role of the capitation method of payment, and more. Recommendations are offered for achieving a more multidisciplinary education for primary care clinicians. Research priorities are identified. Primary Care provides a forward-thinking view of primary care as it should be practiced in the new integrated health care delivery systemsâ€"important to health care clinicians and those who train and employ them, policymakers at all levels, health care managers, payers, and interested individuals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Given the dramatic changes in health care and technology over the past decade, this book is not intended to be a restatement of the many well-established and now considered traditional tasks that health psychologists engage in. Rather, by highlighting innovative DoD and other programs, we offer new ways of thinking about health psychology that may serve as a guide for the future. The first chapter in this book, for example, provides a new conceptual model and practical primer for the delivery of services in a primary care setting. Imbedded in this and other chapters are paradigm shifts the reader is encouraged to make. The hallowed 50-minute therapy hour, for example, is replaced with an effective 15- to 30-minute session that complements the primary care physician. Where appropriate, authors provide the reader with helpful hints on how to make the transition to these new models a smooth one. In most training programs, it is the psychosocial aspects of the biopsychosocial model that are emphasized. Unfortunately, the biological aspect invariably gets short shrift. Psychological assessment in primary care and other medical settings demands a greater emphasis on medical history, medical assessment, and medical symptomology, and the authors of chapter 2 address this often missing link. In keeping with the expanding themes of the first two chapters, the third chapter further extends the influence of primary care psychologists through the use of telehealth, with specific attention to the clinical, ethical, and technical issues that emerge with the use of this technology. Next the book presents interventions and treatment models specific to the adult primary care setting. Chapter 4 addresses the importance of a multidisciplinary primary care approach in the treatment of pain management, and this is followed by chapters on treating cardiovascular disease, HIV/AIDS, diab++
