A Systemic Approach to Behavioral Healthcare Integration: Context Matters
This book provides clinicians, consultants, and healthcare administrators with a roadmap to establishing a systemic, patient-centered, family-oriented behavioral health service that is integrated into a healthcare setting.

Healthcare that goes beyond biomedical issues to address our whole biopsychosocial selves, produces better outcomes for patients and families. Integrating behavioral health into medical settings requires an understanding of the interplay of multiple systemic layers in American healthcare. The existing literature on integration largely fails to address the "big picture" of integrated services and systems, including operations, clinical processes, and financial sustainability elements.

A Systemic Approach to Behavioral Healthcare Integration summarizes the literature on the impact of integrating behavioral health care into medical settings, on the role of families in health maintenance and chronic disease management, and on team science and applying family systems theory/relational science to the teams that are now essential to healthcare.

What People are Saying About This

Alexander Blount

Ruddy and McDaniel offer us a work that is encyclopedic in scope, balanced and authoritative in its content, and, finally ground-breaking for the field of integrated care. It serves as a manual for making integrated behavioral health the standard of care in medical settings, as relevant to clinicians entering the field as to policy makers and organizational leaders on the lead edges of innovation.

Terry Stancin

With a focus on systems, this text is a must-read for healthcare professionals who wish to have a sophisticated, yet practical understanding of current health conditions and why integrated care models are our best hope for achieving better health outcomes.

Frank Degruy

For the first time we have a clear and comprehensive account of the field of integrated clinical care—the elements from which it draws, the sociopolitical and economic crucible in which it is forged, the powerful tools that have emerged, and the most promising directions for the future. Drs. Ruddy and McDaniel are two distinguished clinician-scholars who have been there from the beginning, working in and shaping this field, and this volume is a brilliant culmination of decades of work. Well done!

Lisa De Saxe Zerden

Complete with theory, policy, and practice evidence to manage the complexities of integrated behavioral health more effectively, Ruddy and McDaniel offer a comprehensive overview of behavioral healthcare  integration. Regardless of readers’ familiarity with integrated models of care at the clinical-, population-, and system-levels, this book will deepen practice knowledge and understanding.

Catherine L. Gilliss

Ruddy and McDaniel have the collective experience and persuasive examples to convince their readers why integrated care represents the best care available. Context matters. No matter whether joining people to guide their journey toward health or creating change in organizations, we need to understand the perspective of others and the forces that shape their choices. Whether new or experienced to a systems lens, this accessible text will transform your care of patients.
