Integrated Primary Care
The Future of Medical and Mental Health Collaboration
13 May 1998
Description
Presents models for integrating medical and mental health services to best address patients' needs.
Integrated primary care, now instituted in many areas of the country, is
both the service that integrates medical and mental health primary care
and the practice of defining the problem brought by a patient without
using "medical" or "mental" as inevitable distinctions. This volume
makes the case for this approach, shows how to implement it, and
describes some successful programs. It will be attractive to medical
managers, plan administrators, physicians, and mental health providers.
