Interdisciplinary team practice: Issues and trends

The articles collected in this volume provide a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art in interdisciplinary team practice in mental health related fields. Increased specialization and cost, new legislation and policies by federal, state, local and private institutions, along with increased consumer awareness and other factors have contributed to the growth of interdisciplinary teams. Throughout the work the authors demonstrate how micro and macro systems influence team practices and examine the cost and benefit effectiveness of this type of health care.
