Handbook of clinical psychology in medical settings: evidence-based assessment and intervention

Builds upon the Handbook of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings (1991), edited by Rozensky, Sweet, and Tovian. Translates research into evidence-based practice recommendations that are geared to real-world patient assessment and treatment and creates practical, hands-on tools that clinicians can directly apply to patient care. This book builds on the excellent foundation provided inthe earlier book by addressing areas of overlap and divergence in assessment and intervention skills used across medical settings. The book addresses areasof practice that are unique to various settings, such as understanding the medical culture and reimbursement issues that drive modern practice. In additionto providing a solid update of the evidence, the current book includes practical clinical advice for operationalizing and adapting the existing data to practical applications. In short, this book aims to maintain the strengths of theearlier volume and address the weaknesses of current handbooks. 1. Utilizes anovel collaboration approach by combining the analytical talents of researchers with top practitioners in each area. 2. Provides summaries of important assessment tools and intervention strategies that are considered the state of theart in evidence-based behavioral care. 3. Provides tips and techniques for practicing in a real-world, integrative clinic. 4. Provides clinician and patient assessment and intervention handouts available as a downloadable file, to allow readers to adapt materials to their own unique settings and patient populations.
