“High praise to Hodgson, Lamson, Mendenhall, and Crane and in
creating a seminal work for systemic researchers, educators,
supervisors, policy makers and financial experts in health care.
The comprehensiveness and innovation explored by every author
reflects an in depth understanding that reveals true pioneers of
integrated health care. Medical Family Therapy: Advances in
Application will lead the way for Medical Family Therapists in
areas just now being acknowledged and explored.” - Tracy Todd,
PhD, LMFT, Executive Director of the American Association for
Marriage and Family Therapy Integrated, interdisciplinary health
care is growing in stature and gaining in numbers. Systems and
payers are facilitating it. Patients and providers are benefitting
from it. Research is supporting it, and policymakers are demanding
it. The emerging field of Medical Family Therapy (MedFT) is
contributing greatly to these developments and Medical Family
Therapy: Advanced Applications examines its implementation in
depth. Leading experts describe MedFT as it is practiced today, the
continuum of services provided, the necessary competencies for
practitioners, and the biological, psychological, social, and
spiritual aspects of health that the specialty works to integrate.
Data-rich chapters model core concepts such as the practitioner as
scientist, the importance of context in health care settings,
collaboration with families and communities, and the centrality of
the relational perspective in treatment. And the book's
wide-spectrum coverage takes in research, training, financial, and
policy issues, among them: Preparing MedFTs for the multiple worlds
of health care Extending platforms on how to build relationships in
integrated care Offering a primer in program evaluation for MedFTs
Ensuring health equity in MedFT research Identifying where policy
and practice collide with ethics and integrated care Recognizing
the cost-effectiveness of family therapy in health care With its
sophisticated insights into the current state – and the future
– of healthcare reform, Medical Family Therapy: Advanced
Applications is essential reading for researchers and practitioners
in the fields of clinical psychology, counseling, family therapy,
healthcare policy, psychiatric nursing, psychiatry, public health,
and social work.
