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 text 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.
