## Description

This brief practitioner guide book describes simple and practical strategies for assessing and treating depression using techniques that are tailored to fit the " fast pace" of primary care. The guide book shows how these strategies may be implemented by physicians alone, or in coordination with an on-site mental health provider. The Integrated Care Program focuses on selecting appropriate medication and behavioral interventions, involving the patient as a " partner" to promote compliance, regularly monitoring progress and forming a strong relapse prevention plan. The book contains the necessary clinical forms, excellent patient education materials, and specific protocols for communicating with managed care reviewers.
