Full Description

This book focuses on the ever-growing trend of integrating mental health care into primary care settings. With a global health perspective, this concise, practical book describes the treatment of common disorders such as depression and anxiety using a wellness-based approach. It focuses on how primary care providers and embedded mental health specialists can deliver transdisciplinary services in resource- challenged environments through the application of the wellness paradigm. The underlying goal of this book is to strengthen competence-based training through the explication of a personalized, holistic, wellness approach. The book also includes a preliminary evaluation from the experiences of trainees implementing the approach at primary care level. The book aims to shift beyond the rhetoric and theory of integrating mental health into primary health care to a focus on 'policy to praxis' dynamics and thinking pragmatically in such settings while remaining grounded within one's scope of practice. It is an excellent basis for curricula and training programs for a variety of mental health professionals.
