Overview

Today's practice of psychiatric administration is totally different from that in past years because of the vast changes sweeping the health care and behavioural health care sectors. This textbook provides the practitioner and student of administration in behavioural health care with an overview of the evolving behavioural health system. It also discusses core and new administrative psychiatry concepts, new roles for behavioural health players, how selected behavioural health systems are changing, the trend toward integrated systems, law and ethics, and future issues for administrative psychiatry. This second edition seeks to reflect the changes that have taken place since the first edition was published. Offering in-depth discussions, this volume features new chapters on topics such as prisons, continuous quality improvement, and the changing roles of professionals, family members, and consumers. Recognized experts contribute approaches on organizational theory, leadership, planning, training, information systems, and ethics and law. Also addressed are topics such as behavioural health network establishment and maintenance, staffing, veterans health-care facilities, capitated financing, behavioural health outcomes, and confidentiality -all from a managed care perspective.

Reviews

Thus, the advent of the long awaited second edition of the APPI Textbook (Talbott and Hales, 2001) is welcome, and represents an outstanding and definitive contribution to the literature in the field of administrative psychiatry. To call the volume a second edition understates the magnitude of the transformation that has taken place, not just to create an even better book, but to keep pace with the dramatic changes that have characterized the health care landscape in the past decade. -- Christopher G. Fichter, M.D. Psychiatrist Administrator , Winter 2002 Talbott and Hales Textbook of Administrative Psychiatry, Second Edition, succeeds in unexpected ways. More than simply a cogent presentation of sound practice in psychiatric administration, the book provides specific direction to navigate 'the new world' that will define the field in the 21st century. Rather than a textbook, the book presents more as a roadmap. The unstated challenge--this is not a terrain that you want to venture into without a guide--this book is that guide. -- Saul Feldman, Chairman and CEO, United Behavioral Health Drs. Talbott and Hales have assembled an all-star cast of psychiatric, behavioral, and administrative contributors to the changing role of psychiatry in the evolving behavioral health system. The book admirably attempts to integrate the latest scientific underpinnings of the field with the economic, legal, ethical, and technological changes that permeate all aspects of behavioral health. It is a valuable resource for all health care professionals responsible for behavioral health. -- Eugene B. Feigelson, M.D., Senior Vice-President for Biomedical Education and Research, Dean College of Medicine at SUNY Downstate Medical Center, New York, New York
