Description
Summary:This book was conceived as an initial effort to outline models for practice and to describe current approaches to the provision of mental health care within the economic and social realities of our society. Our goals were to: delineate models of biopsychosocial intervention within prepaid health care systems; describe interventions for particular patient populations developed in or applied to prepaid settings; identify particular problems and issues of concern, and needed directions for the future. /// The first section provides a broad overview of the social, economic, and historical factors contributing to the current state of managed mental health care. /// Part Two provides theories and models for the practice of mental health in the managed setting. /// Section three is designed to provide specific guidelines for working with many of the commonly encountered patient populations in managed care. /// The final section of the book summarizes the current status of managed health care and discusses future directions for practice, training, and research.
