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.
Telebehavioral Health: Foundations in Theory and Practice for
Graduate Learners provides readers with a comprehensive overview of
telebehavioral health, including definitions and concepts, the
benefits and barriers associated with practice, and an
interprofessional framework for telebehavioral health competencies.
The competencies outlined help readers develop an engaged, ethical,
and effective telebehavioral health practice. The book discusses
and provides examples of the knowledge, skills, and attitudes
involved in the seven telebehavioral health competency domains. The
chapters include differentiated content for novice, proficient, and
authority practitioners throughout, allowing readers to adjust
their exposure, in terms of depth and breadth, to each topical
area. The text provides an overview of the characteristics and
practices unique to telebehavioral health treatment, guidance for
competent evaluation and care, review of legal and regulatory
issues related to the use of technology, valuable insight for
telepractice development, and more. Designed to help practitioners
thoughtfully consider the use of technology to support optimal
therapeutic experiences for their patients, Telebehavioral Health
is an ideal text for students within the discipline. It can also
serve as a beneficial reference for novice and seasoned
practitioners.
