Report
"From introducing the concept of the Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) model, to practical evaluative and practice tools, this text serves as a helpful handbook of implementation of integration. It provides valuable resources for administrators, primary care providers (PCP), behavioral health consultants (BHC) and support staff. ... In addition to the physical textbook, the authors have placed supplemental materials online and have linked these materials to relevant passages in the book."
