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 counseling psychologists. Although many books explore the ramifications of managed care for psychotherapy, this is the first to take a broad 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, will find this Guide essential reading.

With today's recent mental health care reforms many psychotherapists are being forced to reexamine the relevance of their practices. Economic pressures, managed care, and the discrepancy between what a therapist hopes to accomplish, and what the relative limitations of his or her treatments are, makes the future of psychotherapy uncertain. This provocative new book examines the failings of current individual psychotherapies and offers a model based on larger interpersonal schemes. This resource will be invaluable not only to therapists who are faced with the need to modify their practices, but also to any mental health practitioner who hopes to develop a more effective form of psychotherapy.
