I have been contracted to edit a book titled:
 
Integrative Clinical Psychology, Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine:  
Perspectives, Practices and Research (Springer Publishing-expected release early  
2009).
 
I am seeking chapter authors to cover the following chapters (scroll  down).
An overview of the book precedes them. Should you be interested in  
contributung to this book please let me know (mention any preferred chapter).  Some of
you receiving this message contacted me previously before the contract  had
been ratified, so if you are still interested please get back to me.  Please feel
free to pass this notice on to any individuals (OR OTHER  WEB-LISTS) who may
be interested in contributing as well as propose any other  special chapter
topic you may like to see in such a book.
 
 



Overview (excerpt):
 
 
This is a book written by clinicians and  clinician-researchers for
clinicians as well as students and  future practitioners in training. (DOES NOT
PRECLUDE  NON-CLINICIANS FROM CONTRIBUTING).
It was designed to foster interdisciplinary  understanding, information
sharing and integrative  approaches to patient assessment, treatment and outcome
studies.  The book is made necessary by the fact that mental health practice has
become increasingly specialized with the majority of  private practitioners
working in relative isolation and in  the context of unidimensional assessment
and intervention paradigms that may no longer meet the gold standard for
patient care or  client services. Practitioners tend to practice the  way they were
trained and often go through an entire career married to an assessment and
intervention approach that is either  antiquated and obsolete, or needs to be
augmented with  the best emerging evidence-based practices.  
While many practitioners would welcome being  able to upgrade their practice
approaches, most  are mired in the clinical realities associated with having
to survive as a practitioner. Time is scarce, with little available to  keep up
with advances across numerous  sub-domains of psychology, psychiatry and
behavioral medicine. In the end we all suffer from this state of affairs, with
patients,  especially, frequently not receiving the highest standard  of care
available today.  
Consequently, a road-map is needed, a  blue-print for a truly integrative
clinical psychology,  psychiatry and behavioral medicine that is designed to
disseminate vast amounts of critical emerging research in an efficient and  
understandable manner, as well as expose  practitioners to sophisticated methods and
procedures that need to be integrated into all clinical practices,  
regardless of orientation or specialty.
The psychoanalyst needs to be aware that  sophisticated brain imaging
techniques are revealing  things that appear reconcilable with Freudian theory that
have been previously discounted. The psychiatrist needs to know  about
practices being used by psychologists who  are demonstrating, for example, that heart
rate variability biofeedback may be a viable alternative for treating
hypertension and  anxiety in patients who cannot safely tolerate anti-anxiety  
medications or that neurofeedback may be the modality of choice for treating ADD in
select patients. Conversely, many psychologists  and psychotherapists are not
really familiar  with the neuorochemistry of psychotropic medications, leading
to an oftentimes radical bias against certain drugs that have  been shown to
be highly efficacious. Cardiologists need to be made  aware of alternative
evidence-based psychological  interventions that may help ameliorate refractory
functional arrhythmias that frustrate patients. Virtually all practitioners  
need to consider issues of ecological validity and the  temporal dynamics of an
intervention or longitudinal impact of a treatment before marrying themselves
to a psychotherapy  method. Sophisticated assessment and monitoring methods are
 capable of revealing things that previously were unobservable  including
qEEG and in-the-field ambulatory wireless monitoring of psychophysiological
processes. These a few of the many  examples this book will reveal, information and
 methods that are critical to optimal patient care that are not being
adequately disseminated across clinical specialties.
