Growing recognition of the role of behavioral health in overall
health, the rise of health psychology, the trend toward
interdisciplinary medicine--any number of factors have made
clinical psychology an integral part of integrative care. Its
applicability to the range of specialties, populations, and levels
of care adds to its increasing necessity in diverse healthcare
settings. The Handbook of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings
emphasizes evidence-based care and practical strategies for
hands-on work with patients while illuminating the unique aspects
of the practice of psychology within medical settings. Skills are
examined in depth for more effective work with patients, more
efficient teamwork with colleagues, and better functioning within
medical settings, whether readers are involved in primary,
secondary, or tertiary care or prevention. Chapters also focus on
ethical, legal, and financial issues, as well as changes needed in
training programs to ensure that the field keeps up with the
evolution of care systems and service delivery. Included in the
Handbook 's forward-looking coverage: Psychology and population
health. Core competencies for success in medical settings.
Evidence-based practice--and practice-based evidence. Marketing
health psychology, both within and outside the medical setting.
Competency for diverse populations. Plus chapters devoted to
specific specialties and settings, from cardiology to women's
health. Comprehensive yet highly readable, the Handbook of Clinical
Psychology in Medical Settings is a practice-building resource for
health psychologists, clinical psychologists, and primary care
physicians.
