Reid, Stuart B. Silver Hardcover: 568 pages ISBN 1583910026 Brunner-Routledge November 2002 (click the button below for the very best available price) In this one-of-a-kind handbook, Reid and Silver have combined the expertise of over thirty contributors, covering the fundamentals of administration and management in various types of mental health centers and disciplines and the basic principles of administration, management, and leadership.  This book addresses both the generic and unique topics of mental health organizations and includes crucial information regarding many new management topics, such as information technology, current human resources policy and law, and modern funding streams.  A special "Primer" section will ease those readers from primarily clinical backgrounds into their administrative roles while readers from management backgrounds will find within a broad introduction to the clinical issues that affect mental health care administrators and managers. If you purchase only one administrative reference, this is the one you want on your desk. "...A comprehensive, thorough and up-to-date text on the practice of mental health administration in today's complex world. It combines clinical insight with modern management- and business- oriented creativity that is essential no matter what institution or community-based setting one might find oneself in mental health care delivery today. It should be on the bookshelf of every manager and administrator in our rapidly growing field." – Steven S. Sharfstein, M.D., President and CEO, Sheppard Pratt Health System, Baltimore, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, University of Maryland "This towering accomplishment is an invaluable resource for clinician-managers. Thoughtfully organized and elaborately detailed, the Handbook sets a new standard for comprehensive, in-depth coverage of the information needed for understanding and practicing contemporary administration and management of mental healthcare services." – Paul Rodenhauser, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry and Assistant Dean, Tulane University School of Medicine, past-president, American Association of Psychiatric Administrators, and editor of Ment The book's 42 chapters are grouped into seven sections that cover all the major topics in administration. The book eases the reader into administration with a section on mental health management principles followed by a section on mental health environments and the various disciplinary foundations.  The book then covers financing, financial analysis, and budgeting.  It also covers the latest issues in healthcare management like information technology, human resources, and current legal issues.
