A Case-Based Approach to Public Psychiatry

Dr. Jeanie Tse is Chief Medical Officer at ICL, a New York City not-for-profit serving people with mental illness and developmental disabilities. She leads ICL and its partners on a number of integrated health initiatives and provides psychiatric care to children and adults in ICL's clinics, assertive community treatment teams, and diverse housing and outreach models. She also serves on the faculty of the NYU and Columbia Public Psychiatry Fellowship Programs, and is past president of the New York Chapters of the American Association of Community Psychiatrists and the American Association of Psychiatric Administrators. Since her training at McGill and Columbia, her aim has been to bridge the gap between academic psychiatry and the clinical challenges of disadvantaged communities.

She graduated from Harvard/Radcliffe College before receiving her medical degree at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine.

"A Case-Based Approach to Public Psychiatry provides a valuable how to guide for psychiatrists working in this field. It covers a wide range of topics typically absent from medical school and psychiatry residency curricula, such as systems-based approaches to care, financing, and mental health recovery. The case study format makes these concepts accessible and relevant to a broad audience of trainees, clinicians, and leaders working in public psychiatry." - Benjamin Druss, Professor and Rosalynn Carter Chair in Mental Health, Rollins School of Public Health

"The chapters, written by accomplished experts and studded with "clinical pearls", reflect a public health approach, central to realizing the complex aims of health and mental health care. The book begins with principles, including recovery, trauma, integrated care, harm reduction and financing. Then the authors teach us about the needs of and effective approaches to populations, such as children onto the elderly, families, veterans, LGBTQ, forensic patients and settings, people who are homeless or with HIV, refugees and immigrants, and many others. The editors have achieved a comprehensive and deep study of public psychiatry, no small task and for which we are in their debt." -Lloyd I. Sederer, MD Adjunct Professor, Columbia/Mailman School of Public Health
