Foundations of Behavioral Health is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Kevin Hennessy, who spent his career at the SAMHSA working with a variety of federal, state, and local stakeholders in the behavioral health services field throughout the United States.

Kevin helped conceptualize this textbook. We have yet to meet a more knowledgeable, friendly, energetic, and considerate person. He was a gifted person simply because he was a remarkable listener. He also possessed the unique yet rare ability to synthesize a comprehensive range of behavioral health issues in light of the relevant research literature. He knew the clinical (micro) aspects of behavioral health services as a licensed clinical psychologist, yet he was able to draw the macro-implications for services research, practice, and policy. Kevin was only 50 years young when he suddenly passed away.

Even though Kevin possessed all of these remarkable qualities, he was very humble, devoted to his family, and passed through life with amazing grace. Since our first telephone conversation about developing a textbook on behavioral health, we treasure the journey we experienced with Kevin. He was, and forever will remain, the most significant behavioral health professional who provided the scholarship and vision for Foundations of Behavioral Health. His tremendous guidance, energy, dedication, and innovative initiatives will be sorely missed by his family, colleagues, friends, and readers of this textbook.

Foreword

Even in the twenty-first century, the public health community continues to face formidable challenges. There is a need for more integrative and collaborative approaches in public health initiatives, considering the complex relationships among the social determinants of health within natural and built environments, population health and health-care systems, and economic, education, and social and community contexts. The continuing changes in the landscape of public health challenge our ability to reconceptualize our approach to how health-care professionals can contribute to health promotion, health education, and disease prevention efforts in communities constantly facing the globalization of communicable and noncommunicable diseases and environmental threats due to man-made and natural disasters.

With an ever-increasing global focus on integrative approaches to solve public health problems, it is essential that behavioral health professionals are seen and utilized as integral members of interdisciplinary and interprofessional health-care teams. While clinically trained behavioral health professionals come from a variety of academic preparations in psychiatry, psychology, counseling, social work, and pastoral counseling, there is also a need for these same behavioral health professionals to develop strong foundations in population health and behavioral health. An example of this interprofessional education and training is found within the University of South Florida College of Public Health, where a cadre of professionals are being educated in behavioral health (i.e., the study of alcohol, drug abuse, and mental disorders from a population perspective) within masters and doctoral degree programs. This group of professionals is uniquely positioned to educate the public on disease prevention, health promotion, and development and financing of effective service systems specifically in the behavioral health arena.

This tome features the work of scholars from the academic and professional fields of public health, medicine, behavioral health, social work, economics, criminology, health communication, and pharmacy and illustrates the benefits of an interdisciplinary approach to integrative population health and behavioral health-care delivery. In addition, it provides a global perspective of practice and policy in behavioral health. Each chapter concludes with a section entitled Implications for Behavioral Health. This section reminds the readers of the importance of the chapter topic for the larger fields of behavioral health and public health.

This text examines the critical relationships for understanding the importance of integrating population health and behavioral health services from a variety of lenses (national, regional, and global). Public health graduate students and professionals would greatly benefit from exploring the chapters in this volume considering the increase in complex comorbid disease clusters. In addition, behavioral health professionals would clearly better understand the nature of the important partnership between public health and behavioral health for improving and sustaining the health of populations at risk.

I am grateful to the coeditors and the authors for providing such an insightful, skills-focused, and practical learning tool and reference guide for the much-needed population- and systems-oriented behavioral health professionals of the future.

Preface

Foundations of Behavioral Health is being completed in the midst of congressional debate over attempts to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) which was originally signed into law by Former President Barack Obama on 23 March 2010. However, debate over health-care reform is hardly new, with many attempts at health-care reform attempted during the previous (approximately) half century.
