Health psychology; General practice; Psychotherapy; Medical counselling

This evidence-to-practice volume deftly analyzes the processes and

skills of integrating mental healthcare with primary care, using

multiple perspectives to address challenges that often derail these

joint efforts. Experts across integrative medicine offer accessible

blueprints for smoothly implementing data-based behavioral

interventions, from disease management strategies to treatment of

psychological problems, into patient-centered, cost-effective integrated

care. Coverage highlights training and technology issues, key

healthcare constructs that often get lost in translation, and other

knowledge necessary to create systems that are rooted in—and contribute

to—a robust evidence base. Contributors also provide step-by-step

guidelines for integrating behavioral health care delivery in treating

cancer, dementia, and chronic pain. Among the topics covered:

The epidemiology of medical diseases and associated behavioral risk factors.

Providertraining: recognizing the relevance of behavioral medicine and the

importance of behavioral health consultations and referrals.

Screening for behavioral health problems in adult primary care.

Health care transformation: the electronic health record.

Meeting the care needs of patients with multiple medical conditions.

Smoking cessation in the context of integrated care.

This depth of clinical guidance makes Behavioral Medicine and Integrated Care an

essential reference for practitioners on all sides of the equation,

including health psychologists and other professionals in health

promotion, disease prevention, psychotherapy and counseling, and

primary care medicine.
