Integrated, interdisciplinary health care is growing in stature and gaining in numbers. Systems and payers are facilitating it. Patients and providers are benefiting from it. Research is supporting it, and policymakers are demanding it.

The emerging field of Medical Family Therapy (MedFT) is contributing greatly to these developments and Medical Family Therapy: Advanced Applications examines its implementation in depth. Leading experts describe MedFT as it is practiced today, the continuum of services provided, the necessary competencies for practitioners, and the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of health that the specialty works to integrate. Data-rich chapters model core concepts such as the practitioner as scientist, the importance of context in health care settings, collaboration with families and communities, and the centrality of the relational perspective in treatment. The book's wide-spectrum coverage takes in research, training, financial, and policy issues, among them: 
Preparing MedFTs for the multiple worlds of health careExtending platforms on how to build relationships in integrated careOffering a primer in program evaluation for MedFTsEnsuring health equity in MedFT researchIdentifying where policy and practice collide with ethics and integrated careRecognizing the cost-effectiveness of family therapy in health care 
With its sophisticated insights into the current state – and the future – of healthcare reform, Medical Family Therapy: Advanced Applications is essential reading for researchers and practitioners in the fields of clinical psychology, counseling, family therapy, healthcare policy, medical family therapy, psychiatric nursing, psychiatry, public health, and social work.
