In the current fast-paced healthcare environment, there is a need for more timely access to high quality behavioral health services. Integrated Psychological Services in Primary Care was developed by practicing psychologists, physicians, college professors, and licensed professional counselors who have embraced the integrated care model, and these distinguished authors share their invaluable insights and practical experiences. This book reviews different strategies for the implementation of behavioral health services in primary care, and there is also a practical discussion of common clinical presentations which can be effectively treated with collaborative care. This book reinforces the relevance of integrated psychological services to primary care settings. There is an emphasis on providing an advanced and cost-sensitive collaborative care model which most efficiently addresses the needs of our patients.
