Summary:

Rural Behavioral Health Care: An Interdisciplinary Guide discusses the needs of the often overlooked individuals who live in rural and frontier areas. These areas of the country frequently lack sufficient services to meet their residents' health care needs. Federal policies, intended to offer relief to rural and frontier areas, are often developed from urban models. As a result, they are not as effective at reducing health disparities as was hoped.

This edited volume presents a comprehensive analysis of the public and federal policy, clinical trends, and empirical literature relevant to the provision of health care services in rural and frontier areas. Leading experts from different professional disciplines, such as public health, psychology, nursing, family medicine, and social work examine the economic and social problems of rural and frontier areas, collaborative methods for service delivery, and the specific needs of special populations. Contributors also explain the unique cultural characteristics of rural areas compared with urban areas and offer a detailed look at the differences between frontier and rural areas. The book successfully unites a broad spectrum of information and elucidates the distinctive health care challenges that service providers and residents of rural and frontier areas face.
