Convergence Mental Health - A Transdisciplinary Approach to Innovation

Modern mental health issues are characterized by their complex, multi-systemic nature and broad societal impact, making them poorly suited to siloed approaches of thinking and innovation. Convergence science integrates knowledge, tools, and thought strategies from various fields and is the focal point where novel insights arise. Convergence Mental Health presents a blueprint for leveraging convergence science within the context of mental health in order to improve patient outcomes and health care systems.

Zusammenfassung

Convergence science is the process whereby innovation comes from the cross pollination of diverse disciplines, industries and cultures, carrying ideas and approaches across boundaries. This book is a blueprint for how this could and should occur in mental health in order to solve the complex, multi-system problems that the field faces.

Zusatztext

Mental health and substance-related issues affect the lives of more than a billion people worldwide. Convergence Mental Health explores novel financing mechanisms like social impact bonds and other blended finance vehicles to address the global shortage of providers and the lack of effective treatments. By realigning risk across the public, non-profit, and private sectors, innovative finance can help advance mental health technology to improve outcomes and the health of our society." - Tracy Palandjian, Co-founder and CEO, Social Finance, Vice Chair, U.S. Impact Investing Alliance
