Collaborative family-oriented primary care rests on interaction between family physicians and family therapists or counselors. Fundamental to this view is the conviction that one cannot understand a patient's illness without knowing the social, emotional, and biological context in which he or she lives. In addition, the author provides a much-needed examination of the rationale for instituting this type of medical care organization, and how such care can be cost effective, satisfying to patients, and a means to further understanding and research into health and illness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Praeger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45082932805783,"sku":"9780275923198","price":9545.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780275923198.webp?v=1767263521","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/collaborative-health-care-a-family-oriented-model-9780275923198","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
