This concise volume provides an overview
of integrated primary care for mental health
professionals. In clear, straightforward
language, it describes the benefits and
key components of integrated care, with
a special emphasis on the Primary Care
Behavioral Health model of service delivery.
Guided by competencies developed by the
American Psychological Association and the
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality,
clinicians learn to use standard resources to
work within a larger team to effectively treat
a wide range of chronic medical conditions,
behavioral health disorders, and unhealthy
lifestyle behaviors that commonly present in
primary care patients.

Mental health providers working in oncology
encounter a broad spectrum of patients
and situations. From innumerable forms of
disease at various stages of progression, to
the wide range of medication side effects
and varying prognoses, cancer treatment
is incredibly complex. Practitioners-like
the patients they serve-can be easily
overwhelmed. Psychological Treatment of
Patients With Cancer offers a succinct but
comprehensive guide to psycho-oncological
practice. Designed to build a foundation
of knowledge that tackles the depth and
breadth of the field, this volume includes
a range of psychological interventions
aimed at helping patients cope with
cancer treatment.

Chronic heart disease impacts more than 17
million Americans, and lifestyle and mental
health problems are major contributors to
the everyday burden of this disease. In this
brief yet thorough primer, Matthew M. Burg
provides mental health practitioners with
the foundational knowledge they need to
understand and work with cardiac patients.
Burg describes how psychologists can help
cardiac patients adjust to their conditions,
for example by changing unhealthy
behaviors and coping with invasive medical
interventions, including surgeries and
implantable devices. He also introduces
readers to specific assessment and
intervention methods that can be applied
to a variety of comorbid psychological
disorders, and uses the palliative care model
to illustrate how clinicians can provide relief
to patients facing end-of-life dilemmas.
