Now in its second edition, A Practitioner's Guide to Telemental Health is significantly updated with coverage of current best practices, evidence-based recommendations, and attention to nuanced refinements of telemental health in the face of recent accelerated growth in the field, due in part to the Covid-19 pandemic. Telemental health, or TMH, has become integral to nearly all aspects of behavioral health service, including research and delivery of treatment, assessment, psychoeducation, training, supervision, and consultation. This has removed significant barriers to care access for many underserved groups; however, it also means that the field overall must build its capacity to provide TMH. This book is for seasoned clinicians as well as new providers preparing to enter the mental and behavioral health care professions. Its chapters provide a guide for increasing TMH competencies, which require keeping up-to-date with the scientific evidence base and ongoing collegial discussion with informed leaders in the clinical, ethical, and legal realms. Readers will benefit from the research presented, as well as the description of practical steps they can take to ensure they are providing rewarding, safe, and quality TMH care for their patients.
This issue offers a practical, clinical, and evidence-based approach to Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy in children and adolescents. In addition to providing an historical perspective and overviews, the issue discusses CBT and its therapeutic use in Depression/Suicidality, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, PTSD, Anxiety Disorders, Eating Disorders, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Externalizing Disorders, Repetitive Behavior Disorders, and other treatment areas. Also discussed are Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
As telecommunication technologies and health apps become more ubiquitous and affordable, they expand opportunities for behavioural and mental health professionals to provide quality care. Telemental health now encompasses the full range of services, including assessment, treatment delivery, psychoeducation, supervision, and consultation. Many of the skills needed for competent telepractice are the same as in conventional in-office care. However, physical distance as well as technology itself can create challenges to safe and ethical practice. For instance, when conducting suicide assessment and intervention via videoconferencing, the clinician must be prepared to involve emergency or support services at the patient's location, while providing all the usual treatment documentation and follow-up. Such challenges are manageable when following the best practices outlined in this book.
