Summary

"The book presents ideas for: increasing the likelihood of getting tests authorized by MBHOs; using inexpensive/public domain assessment instruments; the ethical use of psychological testing in MBHO settings; capitalizing on the movement to integrate primary care and behavioral health care through the use of psychological testing; and designing and implementing outcomes assessment systems within MBHO settings." "This volume is intended for practicing psychologists and other behavioral health practitioners employed by MBHOs in direct service delivery, care management, or supervisory positions, as well as for graduate clinical or counseling psychology students who will most likely work in MBHO settings."--Jacket.
