 Introduction

Several years ago, we were supervising student therapists working in

community clinics. During the students’ case presentations, they would
frequently mention, almost as an afterthought, that their patients were
taking medication X. Being therapists, we knew little about psychotropic
medication.1 It was not our domain, after all. Instead, we refocused the
discussion onto the “important” material—the topics we understood.
At that time, “important” material could include the patient’s diag-
nosis, family problems, stressors, previous mental health history, or ther-
apeutic relationships. As clinicians, however, we prided ourselves on not
being wedded to one particular model, theory, or treatment protocol. We
were open to almost all material, as long as it pertained to the patient’s
psychological or social experiences.
At the same time that we were ignoring information about psycho-
tropic medication usage or biological history, there were increasing ref-
erences to medications in daily life. Reading book reviews (notably
Listening to Prozac [Kramer, 1993]), having friends and family members
who began taking antidepressants, and having our own patients asking
about medication as a treatment option, we soon realized that psycho-
tropic medication was a burgeoning approach to treatment. And to stay

current, we had to gain a rudimentary knowledge about these medica-

tions and how they were used, as did our students (Patterson &
Magulac, 1994).

EMBRACING THE “BIO” IN BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL

While espousing the biopsychosocial model in our work as therapists in

medical settings, we did not have enough knowledge of human biology,
genetics, and neuroscience to consider our patients’ biological influences
and needs. Regardless of our knowledge or interest, neurobiological
research was creating a revolution by offering treatments for psychologi-
cal disorders that sometimes involved simply taking a pill every morn-
ing. These new treatments were less intrusive than traditional, weekly
psychotherapy, and they were frequently being delivered by primary care
physicians, not psychiatrists. In addition, new research suggested that
psychotherapy could affect biological systems such as the brain (Kandel,
1995, 1998, 2006). These combined research initiatives demonstrated
that cause and effect within the biopsychosocial model is a multidirec-
tional process.
The biopsychosocial model was originally created for physicians, to
help them have a more balanced view of patients’ needs. Engel (1980)
suggested that the biomedical model was flawed because it ignored the
patient’s context and even the patient him- or herself. Instead, Engel sug-
gested that the organized whole (the patient), as well as the component
parts (the patient’s brain, immune system, family, etc.), should be consid-
ered. According to systems theory, every unit is at the same time both a
whole and a part. Nothing exists in isolation. Thus, physicians must
take into account not only the patient’s physical body and the disease
but also the patient’s reported inner experiences (feelings, sensations,
memories) as well as his or her reported and observable behavior.
Similar to the physician’s myopic view, we as therapists were
equally short-sighted. We focused on our patients’ experiences and feel-
ings to the extent that we ignored their biological systems. Not acknowl-
edging or understanding the importance of these systems meant that we
ignored possible treatment options that targeted them—that is, we
failed to consider psychotropic medications. And by failing to consider
psychotropic medications in treatment, we were possibly failing our own
patients.
Realizing that our therapeutic knowledge had to expand if we were
going to truly follow a biopsychosocial model, we learned everything we
could about medications and started encouraging our students to do the
 Introduction 3

same. Textbooks for nonphysicians about psychotropic medications

were published (Beitman, Safer, Thase, Blinder, & Riba, 2003; Gitlin,
1996; Riba & Balon, 1999; Sammons & Schmidt, 2001). Courses about
neurobiology, medications, and genetics were added to mental health
training programs. A paradigm shift was occurring: the dissolving of
mind–body dualism.
However, this revolution in the academic mental health community
did not necessarily lead to better patient care. Although we could
explain the basic neurobiological mechanisms of medications, we could
not get our patients to keep taking them if their spouses did not like the
way the patients’ sex drive was affected, if the medications made the
patients gain weight, or if the medications were taken off an insurance
company’s reimbursed medications list. The books we collectively read
on combining psychotherapy and medications or simply educating
nonphysicians and patients about medications led us to believe that pro-
viding knowledge to mental health professionals would be enough to
create change. This assumption was not true. In addition, there was vir-
tually no communication between the prescribing physician—regardless
of his or her medical discipline—and the therapist. And family members,
who may be most affected by patients’ responses to medication, were
completely ignored. The impact of payors, employers, health care system
providers, and others was never mentioned along with the discussion of
the neuromechanisms of the medications. But these impediments were
the everyday challenges that we faced with our patients. Even if our
patients were open to the idea of medication, structural impediments,
especially the lack of communication between the prescribing physician
and the therapist, limited the medications’ effectiveness.
Engel (1980) had originally focused on the biological, psychologi-
cal, and social systems of his patients. But we were discovering that
other systems were also affecting the care we could offer. The organiza-
tional and financial structures of the health care systems, as well as the
divisions among the different mental health disciplines, meant that
patient care was often fragmented and uncoordinated.

THE COLLABORATIVE CARE MOVEMENT

At the same time that we were struggling with these issues, there was a
growing movement in health care that had as its goal the collaboration
of physicians and therapists in assessing, planning, and providing patient
care. A growing group of health professionals had been attempting to
repair both the fragmentation in health care services and the conceptual
4 Introduction

split between mind and body. In fact, there were already several organi-
zations and groups devoted to this model of care, especially in the
United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

Defining Collaborative Care

Collaborative care has many definitions. It does not refer to split care,
which usually implies that the physician treats the biological part of the
patient by prescribing medication, and the therapist does the rest.
Although split care may be attractive in terms of cost and ease for the
provider, it is inadequate care. Patients need their therapist and physi-
cian to communicate, particularly in the creation and maintenance of a
treatment plan.
Collaboration also differs from consultation. Consultation implies
an event rather than a process. It is possible that a psychiatrist, for
example, could conduct an evaluation and offer suggestions without
prescribing medication, which may negate the need for ongoing contact.
However, in most cases, the physician ideally becomes a treatment team
member, not simply a consultant who offers expert advice and disap-
pears.
One definition of collaboration is “the concurrent use of medical
and mental health services” (Roesler, Gavin, & Brenner, 1995). Al-
though this definition is absolutely correct, it obscures the diversity in
how collaborative treatment is delivered. Collaboration can include
phone calls, hallway discussions, exchanges of letters, participation by a
physician—primary care or otherwise—in part or all of a therapy ses-
sion, and meetings that involve all professionals, the patient, and his or
her family. Nor does this definition suggest the difficulty in practicing
collaboratively. Even with good intentions to “work together” and
“share care,” good collaboration is hard work.
Several excellent works on collaboration have been published
(Blount, 1998; Doherty & Baird, 1983; Seaburn, Lorenz, Gunn, Ga-
winski, & Mauksch, 1996). Doherty (1995) developed a model that
defines five levels of collaboration. The levels range from minimal col-
laboration, in which professionals work in different sites and rarely
communicate about a case, to close collaboration in a fully integrated
system, in which professionals from different disciplines practice in the
same site and hold team meetings regularly to discuss collaboration
issues. For most physicians and therapists, level 5 is more of a dream
than a reality. Because of the structure of health care today, most profes-
sionals probably practice at levels 1 or 2.
 Introduction 5

If levels 3 or 4 are not possible for therapists because of the location

of their practice, we advocate a model that is a modified version of level
2, which we call “close collaboration at a distance.” Such a model pro-
vides health care services that focus on coordinated assessment and
treatment by providers from different disciplines, so that all aspects
of the patient’s health—whether biological, psychological, spiritual, or
social—can be addressed. Successful collaborative care presumes shared
treatment planning and decision making by interdisciplinary teams.
Shared care over time and across disciplines results in comprehensive
care. Although the primary focus is on the integration of biomedical
problems and mental health problems, all variables related to the
patient’s quality of life are considered, most notably the patient’s family.
The importance of family in both treatment and the collaborative effort
is highlighted later in the text. Under the collaborative model, there are
regular interactions to discuss patients and an appreciation for each
other’s professional culture (Doherty, 1995).
Although lofty in its expectations, in practice this model provides
the best possible care for patients and their families. Sharing care also
decreases the isolation that therapists and physicians commonly experi-
ence, which can further complicate the work with complex patients.
Sharing responsibility for managing mental health crises, generating
fresh ideas, expressing frustration, and carrying the emotional burden of
serving these patients are only a few of the benefits that such care pro-
vides to the professional.

Collaborative Care: An Integrated Conceptualization

As clinicians, we were beginning to understand that a collaborative care
model addresses gaps and fragmentation in the health care delivery sys-
tem. It means that we do not have to know every fact about every system
that might affect the patient’s care. Instead of viewing ourselves as the
sole deliverers of treatment, we have become the purveyors of possibili-
ties in a system that extends beyond our own personal limitations, in
addition to offering the patient our clinical expertise.
All treatment options are equally plausible, regardless of whether
we can deliver the treatment ourselves. We might provide the treatment,
or we might serve as a conduit of information and resources so that our
patient can receive the best possible care. When psychotropic medica-
tions are used, we consider their impact beyond the patient’s biological
system. In a collaborative care model, it has become our job to under-
stand the impact that psychotropic medications could have on the
6 Introduction

patients and their families, at home or in their work environment, even

though as therapists we do not deliver the medication ourselves.

TRENDS IN MENTAL HEALTH CARE

We have also been reading about important trends in patient care such
as the following:

• The U.S. Surgeon General declared that ensuring that treatments

were available (minus problems of access) for patients with
depression was a more significant problem than developing more
efficacious treatment.
• There was a marked increase in the proportion of the population
who received outpatient treatment for mental health problems,
but this care was often provided by primary care physicians.
• There was greater involvement of physicians in patient mental
health care and greater use of psychotropic medications.
• Over one-half of all patients who were prescribed psychotropic
medications failed to complete the treatment course.
• With the exponential growth of the Internet, there was a dra-
matic increase in the use of self-help groups.
• Also, many patients used multiple venues to treat their mental
health problems—self-help groups, human services (school coun-
selors and ministers), primary care, and specialty mental health
services.
• In general, this care was uncoordinated (Kessler, Zhao, & Katz,
1999; Olfson et al., 2002).

It has become clear that training in collaborative care and the develop-
ment of supportive systems are essential initiatives if future patients are
going to receive optimal care. We have realized that we have to train our
students not only in traditional practice and technique but also in the
principles of collaborative care. We also have to play a part in building
support for collaborative care models within health care systems.

PREPARING THE NEXT GENERATION OF THERAPISTS

Despite our immersion in the collaborative care movement, we were

doing training as usual in our family therapy master’s program. That is,
we were training future therapists to work independently, using the tools
 Introduction 7

that we gave them, including theory and popular treatment techniques.

At best, working with other colleagues meant providing a referral for
some special treatment, such as psychological testing.
Eventually my colleagues and I realized that our training models
would no longer work. Using the ideals of the collaborative care move-
ment, we began creating new treatment goals. Believing that psycho-
tropic medication could be an essential treatment and that many of our
patients would be obtaining medication from their physicians, we con-
sidered what new knowledge future therapists (our students) would
need.
We began experimenting with collaborative care models of patient
care and thinking about how to train students in their use. The four of
us—two psychiatrists and two family therapists—began to share patient
care. That is, we began to provide joint clinical supervision to family
medicine residents and family therapy interns, and we began to teach
2
each other’s students.
This book is the result of our collective search for better ways to
care for patients with mental health problems. Its purpose is to provide
the information a non-MD therapist needs to know about psychotropic
medication and collaborative care. It is intended for nonprescribing cli-
nicians who work in mental health. We wrote it with two objectives in
mind: to give readers a basic sense of pharmacotherapy for various men-
tal health disorders, and, more important, to provide a conceptual
framework, a mind-set, and specific approaches for working in a collab-
orative care environment with medical professionals who do prescribe
psychotropics.
Many books about psychotropic medications have been written for
psychotherapists, and some recent books discuss split treatment models.
As clinicians we found that these books, although helpful, did not meet
our needs. We recognized that there are many effective treatments,
including combined therapy and medications. However, many of these
treatments never reach the people who need them most. We became
increasingly interested in the efficacy of the delivery of mental health ser-

2
For example, in a specific week, Dr. Albala and Dr. Patterson might exchange e-mails
about a shared patient, jointly conduct live supervision for family medicine residents who
are interviewing challenging patients; Dr. Albala might lecture to Dr. Patterson’s students
about basic antidepressant medication.
Dr. Edwards and Dr. McCahill might meet to talk about further developing treatment
protocols at the collaborative clinic they are developing and might engage in a problem-
solving session to figure out ways to help their homeless, indigent patients get access to
appropriate care, including medication.
8 Introduction

vices. What obstacles exist for the typical clinician and patient who seek
optimal treatment?
Our goal in this book is to provide basic scientific information
about psychotropic medications and, even more important, to offer
pragmatic advice on helping patients benefit from these medications.
Although there are many potential concerns, such as a family’s response
and insurance issues, we believe collaboration is the cornerstone of effi-
cacy.
There are many models of care in addition to the psychotherapist–
physician collaboration. For example, there is a movement to provide
psychologists with prescription-writing privileges. As reported by the
American Psychological Association (2002), New Mexico was the first
state to give psychologists prescription-writing privileges, followed by
Louisiana. Some psychiatrists suggest that it is cost-effective for the psy-
chiatrist to provide both medication and psychotherapy, thus eliminating
the need for a nonphysician provider. In addition, some patients do not
want therapy and simply seek medication from their primary care pro-
viders. Other patients would never consider medication and seek therapy
only. Finally, some people seek informal help only through Internet
searches or talking to a friend, member of the clergy, or human resources
employee.
This book does not focus on these other treatment modalities. It
simply focuses on a non-MD therapist and a physician working together
to care for their common patient. However, the non-MD therapist could
be a psychologist, a social worker, a marriage and family therapist, a
psychiatric nurse, or a counselor. When we refer to physicians, we could
mean a family physician, a psychiatrist, an internist, a pediatrician, or an
obstetrician–gynecologist. To simplify matters, we refer to “the thera-
pist” and “the physician” throughout this book. This book is primarily
intended for therapists who want to build collaborative relationships
and learn the biological information they need to communicate with
physicians.
In writing this book, we made a few assumptions:

1. We want this book to be theory-neutral. Each model and every

therapist makes unique contributions to the therapeutic process. You
might be an expert in cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems the-
ory, interpersonal therapy, or another model; your expertise is a critical
component of healing. However, because we assume that you already
have expertise in some type of psychotherapy, that is not the focus of
this book.
