Integrated Behavioral Health in Primary Care: Step-By-Step Guidance for Assessment and Intervention

This timely new edition brings the reader up to speed with the changing aspects of primary care service delivery in response to the Patient—Centered Medical Home (PCMH), the Triple—Aim health approach, and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Drawing on research evidence and years of experience, the authors provide practical information and guidance for behavioral health care practitioners who wish to work more effectively in the fast—paced setting of primary care, and provide detailed advice for addressing common health problems such as generalized anxiety disorder, depression, weight issues, sleep problems, cardiovascular disorders, pain disorders, sexual problems, and more.

New to this edition are chapters on population health and the PCMH; children, adolescents, and parenting; couples; managing suicide risk; and shared medical appointments. This paperback edition was previously published in hardcover in 2017.
