Instructions for Writing a Book Precis
Writing a book precis is a different task than writing a book review. The most important aspect
of a book precis is its brevity and concise writing. The following information will be required for
writing a book precis for this course:
1) The precis will be limited to one-page. Normal page margins (1-inch) will be used and
text size will be 12-pt., single-spaced.
2) The precis will include three sections: A) Author’s argument, 2) Support for Argument,
and 3) Evaluation and conclusion.
3) The author’s argument should encompass the overall argument of the book. Why did
the author write the book? What point was the author trying to make to the reader?
4) When writing the Support for Argument section, the student should be very concise in
their writing. Take the author’s argument and explain how the author supported that
argument in the book. Don’t retell parts of the book. This section requires you to look
at the big picture and determine the author’s overall approach to convincing the reader
of their argument.
5) The final section, Evaluation and Conclusion, requires the student to evaluate whether
or not the author’s writing convinced you of their argument. This section should be
brief, concise, and leave no doubt in a reader’s mind as to the value of the book.
The written book precis should be limited to one page. If, after writing your precis, your paper
is longer than one page, you must edit the paper to tighten the narrative and limit the writing
to your strongest arguments and statements.

therapeutic goals -What factors might lead to the failure of the CC/IC delivery model?
The collaborative practice of clinicians across disciplines requires a shared language, appreciation of diagnostic and therapeutic paradigms, and recognition of appropriate roles within the health care team. This collaborative environment is at the heart of a health care system that utilizes the skills and expertise of all its team members in appropriate and extended roles. This model of care delivery is often called integrated care (IC) or collaborative care (CC). Although this model is endorsed by many professional societies and agencies, the CC/IC care delivery model can fail due to multiple factors.
consider the clinical partnerships that result within the CC/IC delivery model. Integrating concepts developed from different content domains in psychology, address the following questions.
· How might health care teams achieve therapeutic goals for individual clients?
· How does this support health literacy?
· What factors might lead to the failure of the CC/IC delivery model?
· How might lack of acceptance of the value or viability of the CC/IC model by stakeholders, lack of awareness of the clinical competencies of various members of the team, barriers to financial reimbursement for services, and lack of integration of support services within the practice cause a breakdown in efficacy?
· What supportive interventions within the CC/IC model address such issues?
In addition, consider how successful health care models assume an understanding of each profession’s competencies and responsibilities. For example, primary care providers (PCPs) are sometimes unaware of the abilities and practice scope of psychology professionals.
· Identify methods of targeted intervention and education for PCPs that might alleviate potential issues for the CC/IC model.
· Explain how the APA Ethical Code of Conduct can be used to guide decisions in these complex situations.
· Evaluate and comment on the potential work settings where you might find the CC/IC model. In what ways might this model provide more job satisfaction?
