Whether you are an experienced clinician or a newly graduated professional, today's changing economic environment can make the business of practice seem especially daunting. This indispensable manual is based on a simple idea: In a consolidating health care world, you cannot (and don't have to!) go it alone.
Demonstrating that collaboration is the key to successful, quality-oriented private practice, the book provides the concrete information you need to affiliate with a group practice for the first time, expand an existing group practice, or conceive and build a practice venture from the ground up. With a wealth of hands-on exercises and extensive interviews with leaders in the field, Simon Budman and Brett Steenbarger help you to take greater control of your career and make crucial decisions for your professional future. This book will be of value to both practitioners and students in a full range of mental health fields.

Reviews / Votes
'The behavioral health field is rapidly moving toward group practices and integrated delivery systems, making it increasingly difficult for the lone practitioner to survive...This guide will serve readers as an invaluable tool and reference as they move into an uncertain future. I highly recommend the book for clinicians in all phases of their practice growth.' - Richard S. Edley, PhD, Executive Vice President, Managed Networks of America'Budman and Steenbarger have conducted an intensive investigation of flourishing group practices, and have brilliantly dissected the components leading to their success. These elements are presented her in practical, doable steps. Stop - do not join or attempt to form a group practice until you have read this book! It may mean the difference between whether or not you are still in practice five years from now.' - Nicholas Cummings, PhD, ScD, President, Foundation for Behavioral Health
