This comprehensive textbook is a valuable resource for graduate-level students in social work and other helping professions, preparing them to deliver integrated behavioral health services in community-based health and mental healthcare settings. In response to the growing prevalence of behavioral health issues in the general U.S. population, and the subsequent increased responsibilities for social workers and health professionals, this textbook provides up-to-date evidence-based practices and interventions for common behavioral health disorders, as well as issues related to suicide, violence, substance use, and trauma.

Detailed case studies are included to illustrate the effects of various interventions, encouraging readers to consider the best approaches to implementing evidence-based, trauma-informed, and recovery-oriented behavioral health assessment and treatment practices. Chapters cover a range of topics, including public health approaches to addressing interpersonal violence, intersections of social, behavioral, and physical health, achieving recovery and well-being from behavioral health disorders, motivating clients to achieve and maintain recovery from addiction, stage-based treatments for substance use disorders, cognitive behavioral approaches to treating anxiety and depressive disorders, and evidence-based approaches to treating the effects of trauma and PTSD.

In addition to outlining integrated behavioral health service models and assessment tools, the textbook addresses specific topics such as public health approaches to addressing interpersonal violence, intersections of social, behavioral, and physical health, achieving recovery and well-being from behavioral health disorders, motivating clients to achieve and maintain recovery from addiction, stage-based treatments for substance use disorders, cognitive behavioral approaches to treating anxiety and depressive disorders, and evidence-based approaches to treating the effects of trauma and PTSD.

By equipping graduate students and health professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide sensitive and informed interprofessional care for patients and families, while consistently engaging in practices that emphasize recovery and well-being, Integrated Behavioral Health Practice prepares them to be leaders in their field.
