At the same time, the cases reflect the economic and financial realities of contemporary health care. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe cases discussed generate creative solutions using different levels of collaboration depending on patient need and site variables, but all share important similarities: close communication, careful follow-up by physician and behavioral health collaborators, and patients who would not have been treated as effectively without collaborative care. Blending research evidence, clinical insight, welcome humor, and realistic optimism, these cases demonstrate impressive successes, instructive setbacks, and comparative viewpoints while shedding light on the logistical, financial, and training challenges of integrative practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA sampling of the three dozen cases: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe head and the brain: migraines, orofacial pain, tinnitus.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComorbid PTSD and persistent pain.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividuals and couples with complex medical\/emotional problems.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChronic illnesses: obesity, spina bifida, cardiovascular disease.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Hmong woman's post-immigration depression. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA physician with anorexia\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurn patients who keep coming back without treatment success.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCollaborative Medicine Case Studies is a blueprint for a vanguard in care, not only for physicians and psychologists but also for professionals and graduate students in health psychology and health care administration and finance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274324664471,"sku":"9781441926418","price":3633.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781441926418.webp?v=1769279588","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/collaborative-medicine-case-studies-evidence-in-practice-9781441926418","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
