NEW YORK, NY, April 14, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The newly published third edition of "Behavioral Consultation and Primary Care: A Guide to Integrating Services" offers updated insights, practical tools, and strategies to address the challenges of making mental health care accessible and making primary care stronger.
Co-authors Dr. Patricia Robinson and Dr. Jeffrey Reiter have dedicated their careers to building a model that prioritizes integrated, whole-person primary care. Their mission: to ensure that mental and physical health are seamlessly connected within primary care so that patients can receive the services they need at the time they need them.
Robinson and Reiter's pioneering work in the Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) model has transformed the way health care providers think about where and how behavioral health services can be practiced. The third edition of "Behavioral Consultation and Primary Care" builds on the success of previous editions. Topics of interest include making mental health care accessible, improving care for chronic medical conditions, and optimizing primary care for the whole population.
With whole-person care becoming a priority in health care, this book serves as a roadmap for integrating behavioral health seamlessly into primary care settings, improving both patient outcomes and provider well-being.
