Hello, colleagues.
I am putting my feet on U.S. soil for the first time in a month today. My trip to Europe included visits with colleagues in Spain, Sweden, Denmark, and attending the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS) World Conference IX in Parma, Italy. The presentations at ACBS were there were fantastic, and now seems the perfect time to tell you about a new book. Real Behavior Change in Primary Care: Strategies and Tools for Improving Patient Outcomes and Increasing Provider Satisfaction is now available from New Harbinger, and you may want to take a look at a variety of free downloadable materials from the book.
In addition to describing my book, I want to tell you a little about myself and my co-authors. I am a researcher, writer, and trainer in behavioral health integration and application of behavior change techniques in primary care. I began working with Steve Hayes and Kirk Strosahl in the 1980’s. In 1998, I formed Mountainview Consulting Group with Kirk Strosahl. Our company’s website (behavioral-health-integration.com) has many free downloadable materials for behavioral health providers who work in primary care. Current clients include the United States Air Force Medical Operations Division and the San Francisco Department of Public Health.
