Just as the mind and body collaborate in maintaining one's health, collaboration between primary and behavioral health care can bring patients more effective, long-term treatment and better long-term medical results, from better compliance with or less dependence on medication to more effective use of health care services.

Rodger Kessler is a clinical psychologist who has been doing research in the area of integration of primary health care and mental health care for the past 15 years. Dr. Kessler created a five site medical practice where behavioral health clinicians can deliver evidence-based, integrated medical psychological care. Dr. Kessler's current research focuses on patient compliance with psychological referral in an integrated practice, and the impact of integrated medical psychological care on medical and cost outcomes. He is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association and a Past President of the Vermont Psychological Association.
