About this book

The purpose of this book is to be the premier resource for behavioural health clinicians who are considering adopting technology into their practice. Written by experts and policy makers in the field this book will be recognized as the gold standard. Other books currently in this field are extremely technical and are geared primarily to policy makers, researchers and informaticians. While this book will be a useful adjunct to that audience, it is primarily designed for the over .5 million behavioural health clinicians in the U.S. and the millions others around the world. Adoption of technology is slow in behavioural healthcare, and this book will enhance the adoption and utilization of various technologies in practice. I.T. vendors may also purchase this book for their customers.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“Book efficiently covers the implications of information technology and development for behavioral health providers. … book as essential reading for students and faculty in departments of psychiatry, psychology, social work, other human service disciplines, as well as informatics departments. … Covering the area of information technology and how it relates to behavioral health is a daunting task, but the book efficiently covers this field … . The authors are able to explain very technical subjects to readers who have a very basic understanding of technology.” (Aaron Plattner, Doody’s Review Service, April, 2011)
