Decades of evidence supporting team-based care have shifted the question from whether to integrate psychiatry and other mental health services into primary care and specialty medical settings to how to do so effectively, sustainably, and collaboratively.
Integrated Psychiatry: A Case-Based Handbook illustrates how psychiatric and other mental health care can be integrated into everyday medical practice, where complex patient needs meet the demands of busy clinical settings. Written by clinicians across disciplines, this guide uses real-world cases to illuminate the clinical decisions, team relationships, and practical considerations that shape integrated care.
The cases span diverse clinical presentations, levels of diagnostic complexity, and team structures across medical specialties, including:
• Family medicine
•
Obstetrics and gynecology
• Cardiology
• Neurology
• Geriatrics
Each chapter combines case summaries, clinical pearls, and actionable recommendations with guidance on implementation challenges, including workflow design, team roles, collaboration, and sustainability. It connects the care of individual patients with the practical work of building and sustaining integrated services.
Designed for trainees, practicing clinicians, and health care administrators, Integrated Psychiatry supports clinical decision-making, interdisciplinary teamwork, and the development of integrated services. It offers practical guidance for bringing psychiatric and other mental health expertise into the settings where patients already receive medical care.
