Handbook of Career Development in Academic Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences is an essential guide to everything that they don't teach in traditional medical and psychiatric training about how to begin—and further develop—an academic career. Covering many aspects of early career development that the authors wish they had been told about when they started their own academic careers, this book is densely packed with practical information that every academic psychiatrist or behavioral scientist can use right away. The Handbook of Career Development in Academic Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences is both a training manual and a guide for academicians in the real world.Written for a broad audience, from academic psychiatrists and psychologists, medical physicians, and private practice teachers to residents/fellows, medical students, department chairs, and deans, the unique Handbook of Career Development in Academic Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences offers helpful illustrations and extensive references, worksheets, and web resources to prepare psychiatrists and other mental health professionals for fulfilling, successful careers in both private practice and academia.Quite simply, Handbook of Career Development in Academic Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences has earned its place among the core texts for faculty development courses in psychiatry and medicine.

This book focuses on the critical area of delivering mental health services in rural settings.  It is designed as a practical guide to the technological provision of timely, effective, evidence-based care, helpful to the novice and the experienced practitioner alike.  The benefits of this approach are: Improved access to and improved quality of careTechnical support for providers and administratorsA means of providing missing specialty careAn ability to maximize scarce resources and significant flexibility for health service delivery.The book will cover how to adjust therapeutic skills to patients’ needs, models of care and the particular technology used. It shows how rudimentary design of workflow can assist in integrating care, and highlights the importance of allowing for cultural needs (both rural geography and ethnic/race). Administrative issues are also addressed (e.g., privacy, reimbursement). The chapters are short and designed for maximum practicality, including learning objectives, cases and summaries emphasizing “what to do and how to do it.”

The previous 2016 edition, "E-Mental Health," shed light on the application of telecommunications technologies to deliver mental health services remotely to people in often underserved locations due to geographic distance, and cultural or language differences.This new edition on "Digital mental health" represents a similar concept as e-mental health. However, the paradigm has changed; underserved populations are no longer the exclusive focus. The experience of the COVID-19 pandemic has encouraged wider acceptance and application of the technology, expanding its use to both rural and urban areas.The expansive potential of digital mental health approaches is demonstrated in a variety of mental health contexts, highlighted through clinical examples and applications that introduce innovative strategies for technology integration. Moreover, the book outlines a framework for global cooperation, with the goal of cross-border exchange of expertise and knowledge. This book targets a broad audience, including mental health practitioners, medical and nursing students, academic researchers, technology experts, and health policymakers.
