During the past decade or more, there has been a rapid evolution of
mental health services and treatment technologies, shifting
psychiatric epidemiology, changes in public behavioral health
policy and increased understanding in medicine regarding approaches
to clinical work that focus on patient-centeredness. These
contemporary issues need to be articulated in a comprehensive
format. The American Association of Community Psychiatrists (AACP),
a professional organization internationally recognized as holding
the greatest concentration of expertise in the field, has launched
a methodical process to create a competency certification in
community psychiatry. As a reference for a certification
examination, that effort will benefit enormously from a
comprehensive handbook on the subject.
The second edition of the AACP's (American Association for
Community Psychiatry) Textbook of Community Psychiatry is a welcome
update of this notable work that comprehensively presents the state
of the art in this field. Along with continuously evolving
scientific advances and principles of clinical care, community
psychiatry must respond to shifts in public policy as well as
economic climate. The past decade has witnessed significant
political and social changes, including climate change, immigration
levels, technological advancement, the influence of social media
and the rise of political unrest. This new edition reflects these
wider changes, incorporating new chapters and enhancing previous
ones. It remains the standard text for certification of those
working in healthcare and social welfare systems design and
delivery of services. Readers will gain knowledge of: Basic pillars
of the field Evidence based interventions Telepsychiatry and
technological aids Trauma informed services Integrated health
systems Social determinants of health Structural discrimination
