Summary:

This third edition of Behavioral Consultation and Primary Care builds on the success of the previous editions, with updates and expansions of material. This volume will address many timely developments and will be useful to those professionals new to integrated care, and will serve as a text for the growing number of graduate courses on primary care consultation. Topics of interest include workforce shortage issues, guidance on growing strong and resilient teams, and an exploration of the spread of this model to a wide variety of settings such as family practice, women's clinics, and pediatric facilities. In all, the goal of this book is to provide better health care for everyone, and provide the steps necessary to achieve this goal. Robinson and Reiter have crafted a masterpiece with this third edition of Behavioral Consultation and Primary Care. Their great care in building the PCBH model explains its positive impact on patients and healthcare systems around the world and its remarkable growth over the past 17 years. This edition, enriched with new research, practical tools, evolved thinking, and the authors' stunning ability to keep things simple, is a tour de force of how to make evidence-based work clinically relevant. I am thrilled to see this comprehensive guide continue to advance the field. It’s THE essential resource for clinicians, leaders, and anyone who is passionate about transforming primary care through behavioral health integration. Steven C. Hayes, PhD, Foundation Professor of Psychology Emeritus, University of Nevada, Reno Expect this book to be dog-eared and covered with notes. This is not a pristine book to sit on your shelf. This is your go-to guide for integrating behavioral health services into primary care. From the basics to the complex nuances of implementation and scaling integration — this is your resource. Whether you are just starting to integrate behavioral health into your practice, or have a seasoned integrated system, this book is for you.
