Description
Adjunctive treatments, in which patients are provided additional modalities that can assist in their behavior change or the maintenance
of their behavior change (i.e. telehealth, psychoeducation, consumer-driven treatment planning), have a useful role in addressing problems
that can't be solved by face-to-face meetings. The adjunctive therapies covered in this book are all based on improving patient’s self
management of their problems or the factors that exacerbate their problems.
The book is broadly organized into two sections. The
first gives a broad overview of the major adjunctive modalities and the second concentrates on a systematic description of their role
in the treatment of a number of special populations while providing practical suggestions for the timing and coordination for the use
of the adjunctive therapies discussed in the book.
