What if depression could lead to positive change? Written by acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) cofounder Kirk Strosahl and Patricia Robinson, this fully revised and updated edition of best-selling classic, The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Depression includes updated exercises based in breakthrough research on self-compassion, mindfulness, and neuroscience to help readers work through their depression--rather than avoid it--and go on to create a more meaningful life.
In this updated edition, Robinson and Reiter provide a comprehensive guide for integrating behavioral health and primary care. They present a clear rationale and practical steps for implementation, making it essential for those focused on population health and the Primary Care Behavioral Health Consultation model. The revised text is crucial for primary care clinicians and administrators, as well as graduate students in fields like social work, psychology, and medicine. Key features include a refined presentation of the PCBH model, the latest trends in primary care, and extensive strategies for hiring and training Behavioral Health Consultants (BHCs). It offers step-by-step guidance for implementing the PCBH model, along with evolved practice tools, including new Core Competency Tools for BHCs and primary care providers. The book also covers sample interventions for behaviorally influenced issues, the application of “Third Wave” behavior therapies, program evaluation tools, and financing integrated care. Additionally, it addresses the prescription drug abuse epidemic and ethical considerations in the PCBH model. With the ongoing changes in health care, the potential for the PCBH model to enhance primary care and overall population health is significant, making this book a vital resource for anyone interested in integration.
