A Psychologist's Proactive Guide to Managed Mental Health Care
by Macmillan (9780805834888)

"A Psychologist's Proactive Guide to Managed Mental Health Care" offers a concise overview of the evolution of managed mental health care and its impact on the working lives of clinical and counselling psychologists. Although many books explore the ramifications of managed care for psychotherapy, this takes a broader perspective and examine the ways in which the new health care delivery system is affecting all aspects of practice - not just treatment but also assessment and training -as well as mental health research. The authors include some of the country's most noted psychologists with extensive experience in managed care. Their tone is optimistic rather than pessimistic; as they look at developments others have only deplored, they see potential roles and opportunities for growth for psychologists. In an era of dramatic health change, all those practitioners who are concerned about how to make managed care work for them rather than against them, should find this guide useful reading.
