This second edition of Competency in Combining Pharmacotherapy and Psychotherapy: Integrated and Split Treatment is designed to aid psychiatric clinicians at any stage of their career achieve competency in the often complex process of combining and coordinating pharmacotherapeutic and psychotherapeutic treatments for the benefit of their patients.
For both integrated and split/collaborative treatments, this guide addresses basic topics, including the selection of medication and psychotherapy, patient evaluation, and sequencing, as well as more advanced matters, such as evaluation, monitoring, and supervision of treatment and best practices in terminating and transitioning patient care. A new chapter that focuses on primary care access for mental health services in the context of integrated and split/collaborative care is also included.
The rapid transformation of clinical care models in new health systems means that competence in integrated and split/collaborative care is vital for both long-established clinicians and psychiatric professionals in the early stages of their careers. Competency in Combining Pharmacotherapy and Psychotherapy will help them achieve just that
