The only current book on the topic, Telepsychiatry and Health
Technologies: A Guide for Mental Health Professionals is a
practical, comprehensive, and evidence-based guide to
patient-centered clinical care delivered in whole or in part by
technological devices and applications. Not a technology-centered
"health informatics" book, but rather one that describes basic
technological concerns and emphasizes clinical issues and
workflows, it is designed for psychiatrists, psychologists, and
other mental health clinicians who seek to learn the modes, models,
and methods of telepsychiatry. More than 30 practitioners of
telepsychiatry across the core mental health disciplines were
involved in development of the text, contributing knowledge and
clinical examples. Rich with case studies and hands-on guidance,
the book introduces strategies, then clearly illustrates how to put
them into practice. The editors believe that psychiatry
increasingly will focus on the treatment of populations, and that
technology offers the best hope of doing so efficiently and
effectively.Careful thought went into the book's conception and
design, resulting in a marriage of structure and content that meets
the needs of today's clinicians: * The editors employed a unique
process of manuscript development, first outlining each chapter in
its entirety, then assigning sections to contributors selected for
their specific clinical experience and therapeutic expertise. The
result is a text that flows logically and creates synergy across
chapters without duplication. * The book provides "how-to" guidance
on setting up a new telepsychiatry practice or integrating
technologies into a current practice, covering critically important
topics such as data collection, security, and electronic health
records. * Technologies addressed include telephony, smartphones,
apps, e-mail, secure texting, and videoconferencing, all of which
are increasingly being used in the assessment and treatment of
patients with psychiatric disorders. * More than 30 case examples
of patients or programs are included, illustrating the range of
clinical techniques that can be used and the types of patient that
can be treated using available technologies-whether in person,
online, or in a hybrid form of care combining both modalities. *
Every chapter concludes with a summary of major learning objectives
or findings covered. Telepsychiatry and Health Technologies: A
Guide for Mental Health Professionals is destined to become a core
resource in the training of mental health professionals from all
disciplines, as well as an indispensable reference for those
already integrating new technologies into their practices.
