Family Therapists in Primary Care Settings: Opportunities for Integration Through Advocacy

Chapter
First Online:

Abstract

Opportunities for medical family therapists (MedFTs) in primary care settings begin with recognition of what the current climate is like for behavioral health professionals and how to adapt their systemic orientation to interactions between individual patients, providers, staff, and health-care and support systems. Advances in policy and reimbursement mechanisms are opening up doors for behavioral health providers to work alongside health-care providers, but MedFTs have an even greater curve to navigate in advocacy efforts. This chapter provides MedFTs with (a) an overview of the basic structure and barriers of integration, (b) suggestions on how to deliver quality care despite barriers at the local level, and (c) examples of key advocacy efforts representing possible entryways on a larger scale.
