Integrated care is arguably one of the most important developments
in the delivery of health care over the last few years. This new
approach to health care, roughly defined as the provision of
behavioral or mental health care in a way that is more coordinated
with the primary medical healthcare setting, has the focused goal
of providing a more complete care for the patient. This book
focuses on three main content areas. Firstly, the treatment of
psychological problems in the context of primary medical care will
be addressed in several chapters. Secondly, several chapters
address co-morbid psychological factors that play a key role in the
effective medical management of physical diseases, either acute or
chronic. Finally, several chapters address issues relevant to the
overall practice of integrated care. This book is intended to
extend and bridge the existing literatures of integrated care,
behavioral medicine, consultation-liaison psychiatry, medical cost
offset, and healthcare economics, by providing a comprehensive and
current handbook of the clinical protocols that might be applied to
the practice of integrated care.
