Psychotherapy: The primary care provider role

What to expect of a primary care clinician

  • Diagnose mood and anxiety disorders and develop a biopsychosocial treatment plan.
  • Use behavioural activation strategies for lethargic patients with depression.
  • Generate simple exposure hierarchies for patients with panic disorder and patients with phobic avoidance.
  • Assign self-help bibliotherapy for uncomplicated depression and anxiety.
