Equipping the Interdisciplinary Workforce to Treat Substance Use Disorders and Behavioral Health
The U.S. faces a critical crisis in behavioral health and addiction care. Overburdened emergency rooms and primary care offices struggle with lengthy wait times, while workforce shortages and systemic barriers disproportionately impact marginalized communities. This has resulted in the criminal justice system becoming a de facto provider of mental health and addiction services. In 2024, Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy declared a national epidemic of loneliness and isolation, exacerbated by the COVID-19 and opioid crises. His advisory underscores the importance of social connection, empathy, and belonging as vital components of well-being. Despite the urgent need, stigma surrounding mental health and substance use disorders persists, hindering access to care. Historically, training programs have underemphasized addiction and behavioral health education across medical and behavioral health disciplines. This book serves as a vital resource for interdisciplinary teams, highlighting the crucial role each profession plays in improving access to addiction and mental health care and reducing stigma. It advocates for a collaborative, relationship-centered approach, equipping clinicians and peers with the knowledge and skills to effectively address addiction and behavioral health within communities. Expertly written and reviewed, it offers up-to-date scientific and clinical information spanning a broad range of relevant topics.

Paediatric Cardiac Anaesthesia
This book outlines how to approach the anesthetic for congenital heart disease patients for non-cardiac surgery, how to plan for it and to provide a blueprint on how to anesthetise any congenital cardiac lesion. It describes the physiology of congenital cardiac conditions (unrepaired and repaired) which is important for anesthetic planning and contains anatomical drawings of the lesions with explanation on how the physiology of these lesions influences anesthetic technique and how anesthesia influences the lesion. One of the challenges of congenital cardiac conditions is their variability, which needs to be taken into account in any teaching material. With most congenital patients surviving to adulthood, every anesthetist will come across these patients, regardless of where they work or which specialty they anesthetise for. Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesia: a Primer for the General Anesthetist provides specific information regarding the management of patients with a cardiac lesion and the risks with a general anesthetic when troubleshooting does not include crashing onto cardio-pulmonary bypass. It is aimed at non-cardiac anesthetists including anesthetic trainees who need to learn about congenital cardiac lesions and anesthetising for it and non-cardiac consultants who anesthetise cardiac patients (both pediatric and adult) for non-cardiac surgery. It can be used by trainees for learning about it or by consultants for refreshing their memory.
