Description

This book, published in 1997, argues that mental health services must be integrated into primary care to improve outcomes and cut back on wasteful and harmful services and lays out a map for what must be done in the 21st century to accomplish this feat. It outlines barriers to integration at the health insurance level and describes successful examples of integration in the corporate world. Next, it provides tools to help primary care physicians discuss, diagnose, and treat behavioral health disorders within the primary care setting. Lastly, it speculates about the future of mental health and primary care integration.
