T2  - Behavioral Medicine: A Guide for Clinical Practice, 4e
AB  - Since  the  publication  of  the  third  edition  of  Behavioral  Medicine:  A  Guide  for  Clinical  Practice,  there  have  been  considerable  advances  in  medical  diagnosis  and  treatment,  as  well  as  changes  in  the  ways  in  which  health  care  is  organized  and  delivered.  The  science  of  genetics  has  revolutionized  the  understanding  of  disease  and  the  design  of  therapies  targeted  to  specific  diseases,  and  increasingly,  to  specific  individuals.  New  medications,  therapies,  and  technologies  are  available  for  treatment  of  a  variety  of  behavioral  health  problems,  such  as  mood  and  anxiety  disorders  and  substance  use.  There  are  new  collaborative  models  of  chronic  care  and  patient  self-care  that  increase  effectiveness  in  the  treatment  of  those  with  chronic  illness.  The  rapid  adoption  of  electronic  medical  records  as  the  standard  in  most  treatment  settings  poses  new  challenges  for  establishing  and  maintaining  rapport  in  the  clinician–patient  relationship.  Health  care  organizations  are  paying  greater  attention  to  the  importance  of  clinician  well-being  in  reducing  burnout  and  error  and  in  maximizing  the  performance  of  the  organization,  including  financial  outcomes.  And  the  passage  of  the  Affordable  Care  Act  (ACA),  with  greater  emphasis  being  given  to  the  integration  of  behavioral  health  into  primary  care  practice,  has  the  potential  to  profoundly  change  how  we  approach  the  care  of  patients  with  mental  and  behavioral  problems.
