Overview

The delivery of, and access to, health care—including mental health care—is evolving more rapidly now than ever before. As the current cohort of psychiatric administrators and leaders approach the end of their careers, two options remain: abdicating leadership to nonclinical administrators or nonpsychiatric physicians or equipping a future generation of psychiatric leaders to advocate on behalf of providers and patients. Arguing that the latter is essential to a strong behavioral health care system, this third edition of the Textbook of Psychiatric Administration and Leadership consolidates the insights of a curated group of experts to both increase the knowledge of young, aspiring leaders and help more established leaders refine their skills. Written in a clear, practical style accessible to readers at any stage of their careers, chapters include evidence-based insights and best practices on topics that include • Organizational theory • Leadership • Business development and revenue generation • Financing of health care services • Quality and performance improvement • Talent acquisition and management • Leading a healthy team, addressing staff burnout, and cultivating well-being • Diversity and inclusion • Using health information technology Throughout the textbook, case vignettes serve to translate information from page to practice. Each subject area is also examined through the lens of the needs and choices of both patients and personnel and considers a multiplicity of perspectives, including culture, gender, and race. With information on additional resources for furthering knowledge and sources for mentorship, the Textbook of Psychiatric Administration and Leadership is a necessary first step on the path to leadership for mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, advanced practice providers, nurses, and social workers, whether still in training or having been in practice for years.

The purpose of the book is to serve as a guide for psychiatrists to become effective leaders and administrators and to empower new leaders. It conveys the importance of working with systems to improve care for communities. Psychiatrists are increasingly employed physicians and need to understand the administrative goals of an organization to appropriately balance them with clinical practice goals. The chapters are logically organized from historical and generalized information to more practical and granular topics. The book includes helpful discussions on leading a successful team, legal issues relevant to the field, accreditation, reimbursement, and quality improvement. The content is clearly written with accessible language for medical professionals. The writing is concise and well-organized with appropriate use of tables and figures to summarize or expand on critical points. The book also presents suitable case examples for clarity. This book provides critical information for physician leaders who typically do not have leadership as part of their formal training. It will equip readers with the administrative and leadership skills needed to amplify their impact on clinical care in their communities. -- Daniel M Tuinstra, M.D. * Doody *
