STEM-H for Mental Health Clinicians presents a groundbreaking model that harnesses the power of scientific, technological, engineering, and mathematical concepts to address the health (STEM-H) of patients facing medical challenges. This comprehensive textbook takes readers on a journey from the fundamentals of genetics to the cutting-edge scientific research underlying each bodily system, providing valuable insights into development, structure, and function. It delves into the discussion of signature illnesses and injuries that impact each system, highlighting the technological advancements and biomedical engineering that have led to the development of apparatuses and medications to treat these conditions. Throughout the chapters, mathematical concepts that underpin public health models are introduced, ranging from the prevalence and incidence of medical conditions to social determinants of health and the intricate relationships between ethnicity, gender, and poverty. Clinical theories and methods are introduced to equip practitioners with the knowledge and skills necessary to treat signature illnesses and injuries experienced by children and adults. The book goes beyond mere terminology and STEM-H concepts, offering a thorough explanation to inform students and mental health clinicians. By mastering the material, readers will be well-prepared to serve as valuable members of medical teams or operate as independent clinicians, catering to private or community clients grappling with medical problems. Moreover, STEM-H for Clinicians extends its focus to the well-being of the patient's family members, offering solutions to alleviate the burden placed on caregivers. Chapters within this textbook adopt a bench-side to bedside approach, applying fundamental global scientific data, primarily sourced from the United States, to inform clinicians' treatment methods and drive research-informed practice.
