Chapters review current findings on common job-related mental health and psychosocial issues, and guide readers through the tangle of insurance and legal concerns typically associated with disability cases. This elegant framework models more effective case management, leading to enhanced client satisfaction and functioning, and improved individual and system outcomes.   Among the topics covered:           A critique of the behavioral health disability system.          Systemic-caused iatrogenic behavioral health disability and contradiction between diagnostic systems.          Effective psychological evaluation and management of behavioral health concerns.         Behavioral health disability and occupational medicine—concepts and practices.          Physical therapy treatment and the impact of behavioral health concerns.         A neuroplastic model of secondary contribution to behavioral health disability: theory and implications.
