"If you are considering doing IHT, this is a book you need to read. If you are considering taking IHT as a patient this is a book you need to read." – Diana Soeiro, metapsychology.mentalhelp.net
"Community and In-Home Behavioral Health Treatment explains a broad range of treatment options. It is a helpful reference not only for students and providers, but also families and individuals affected by mental illness. Westbrook’s commitment to community-based counseling and her advice born of experience are commendable." – Mary Giliberti, JD, Executive Director, NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness)
"As a behavioral health registered nurse in New Mexico, I appreciate Westbrook’s understanding that many behavioral health interventions begin with providers asking to step into another’s environment. Her insight of folk medicine practices, in particular, and its timeless relevance to Native and Mexican-American cultures will establish this text as a classic reference."– Marianne A. Broyles, BA, MA, RN, BSN
"Lynne Westbrook answers critical questions about the importance of the treatment environment in the field of behavioral health. I particularly appreciate Westbrook’s description of how community and in-home services work for consumers from different cultural backgrounds and the importance of having culturally literate providers serving these communities. This is a must-read for any clinician looking to not only meet the consumer at their level of need but to meet them in the most appropriate environment." –Pierluigi Mancini, PhD, CEO, CETPA, Inc.; President, National Latino Behavioral Health Association
