Acquiring access to mental health treatments can be difficult
for those who are not near mental health facilities. The growing
field of telemental health addresses this problem by using video
and telephone conferencing to provide patients with access to
psychiatric professionals. However, the process faces challenges to
gain adoption into mainstream medical practice and to develop an
evidence base supporting its efficacy. In this comprehensive text,
leading professionals in the field provide an introduction to
telemental health and explore how to construct a therapeutic space
in different contexts when conducting telemental health, how to
improve access for special populations, and how to develop an
evidence base and best practice in telemental health. In the past
15 years, implementation of telemental health has seemed to follow
more from need than from demonstrated efficacy. The thorough and
insightful chapters within this book show the importance of
continued research and thoughtful development of ethical and
responsible practice that is needed in the field and begin to lay
out steps in constructing this process. Telemental Health will be
an essential book for all clinical practitioners and researchers in
mental health fields.
Information in this bookis focused on
the clinical practice of telemental health, no other text is
similarly oriented to clinical practice. Limited options for
interested audience makes this text a top choice.The Editors are
experienced in multiple aspects of e-health across diverse clinical
settings, and the authors are national leaders who are most
knowledgeable regarding developments in the field. Emphasis is on
providing evidence-based care, and telemental health emerges as
comparable to usual care, not a "second best" option; material is
not esoteric but relevant to clinical practice. Readers will be
able to readily find the equipment and other technology to
establish their practice.
