Rezensionen

"This book fills a useful and relatively empty niche, discussing broadly the use of computer technology in mental health. ... For mental health professionals unfamiliar with informatics and informaticians new to working in the mental health arena, this book will give much useful information." (E. P. Hoffer, Computing Reviews, October, 2015)

"Detailing the dynamic nature of the technological landscape of the medical profession, and mental health specifically, this book addresses various aspects of incorporating technological advances into the practice of psychiatry for the benefit of clinicians, support staff, and, most importantly, patients. ... The primary audience is mental health professionals actively involved in assessing and treating individuals with mental health disorders, especially those less well-versed in using these technologies to improve efficiency and patient care." (Steven T. Herron, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2015)
