Content:
"This second edition represents a significant update with coverage of current best practices, evidence-based recommendations, and attention to nuanced refinements of telemental health (TMH) in the face of massive, accelerated growth in the field. This capability, referred to as TMH, has extended to nearly all aspects of behavioral health service, including the research and delivery of treatment, assessment, psychoeducation, training, supervision, and consultation. As with other forms of care, access barriers to telehealth do exist, despite increased availability and affordability of webcams, videoconferencing (VC) software, and high-speed network connections. Throughout the second edition, the authors have updated the best-practice recommendations and guidance for conducting competent, ethical, and evidence based TMH. The book adds information about the potential of TMH to support health care and other workers hit hard by pandemic demands and losses while hundreds of thousands of the colleagues deal with the skyrocketing behavioral health needs among youth and other distressed groups. The guidebook's practical recommendations also apply to TMH providers regardless of discipline or theoretical orientation. In many of the recommendations, the authors have made conscious attempts to be inclusive of the broader health care arena across prevention and the behavioral components of chronic illness, including behavioral medicine, integrative medicine, and health psychology perspectives. Also, although this guidebook primarily uses examples of regulatory requirements and guidelines from the United States, it is intended for the international behavioral and mental health researcher and practitioner communities."--Preface (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
