Synopsis

This book is a how-to manual for incorporating psychotherapy into the daily practice of primary care medicine. In the universe of primary care patients, many, if not all, have a behavioral component as part and parcel of their visit to a physician. Successfully recognizing and addressing these issues in a time-effective manner will benefit the patient while at the same time increasing the satisfaction of the caregiver.

For family physicians and general internists and other providers of primary health care services such as pediatricians, college health physicians, emergency physicians, nurse practitioners, etc. as well as specialists in non-primary care fields.
