Jo Ellen Patterson,C.J. Peek,Richard Heinrich,Richard Bischoff,Joe Scherger

This guide for mental health practitioners and students working in medical settings makes a case for the integration of primary care and mental health care, showing how broadly trained mental health professionals can take a significant role in the constructive evolution of health care. This book discusses, for both established and student mental health professionals, key issues such as how to facilitate the physician-patient relationship, the integration of biomedical information and the patient’s psychosocial needs, and how to distinguish good from bad managed care.
