Imposter phenomenon is defined as a sense of intellectual fraudulence and an inability to internalize success and competency. Although imposter phenomenon has been noted in several populations, literature is sparse that focuses on mental health professionals. In addition, little is known about the relationships between imposter phenomenon, compassion fatigue, and compassion satisfaction for mental health workers. Using a survey design with a convenience sample of 158 mental health workers, this study found that imposter phenomenon was positively associated with compassion fatigue, as well as negatively associated with compassion satisfaction, when controlling for years of work and age. Further, the combination of lower levels of compassion satisfaction and higher levels of burnout predicted higher levels of imposter phenomenon. Implications and preventative measures are discussed.

Integrated behavioral health care (IBHC) continues to grow as an evidence-based service delivery model adopted by healthcare systems all over the world to better care for the holistic needs of patients and their families. Medical family therapy (MedFT), as a field, has offered innovation to IBHC models by delivering biopsychosocial-spiritual (BPS-S), relational, and family-oriented care across a variety of healthcare contexts. This article details a longitudinal review of a program, spanning 16 years, that grew from no behavioral health services to one that is highly integrated, and embeds MedFTs in a number of rural community health centers. This model highlights the importance of interdisciplinary teams, including Peek's clinical, operational, financial, and training worlds, as well as decision-making metrics for systems that predominately care for underserved and minoritized populations. The authors illustrate a framework for how the levels of primary care/behavioral healthcare collaboration relate to the work and practice of MedFTs as conceptualized through the MedFT Health Care Continuum and meet the BPS-S needs of diverse populations seeking pediatric, adult, and dental healthcare services. Also described are shifts made in the model over time based on (a) growth in cultural humility, (b) relationally-oriented practice, operations, finance, and training data, and (c) research informed decisions. Recommendations include ways MedFTs can facilitate provider and administrative buy-in, assess model fidelity, and strive for quality outcomes for patients.
