Abstract: | This article summarizes developments in Australian primary mental health care, where the federal government recently initiated a program through which clinical psychologists are funded to work collaboratively in primary health care settings, providing interventions for people suffering from psychological disorders who could not otherwise gain access to treatment. The article examines emerging issues concerning underpreparedness for collaboration between family medicine and clinical psychology. Because interprofessional education is often suggested as a solution, the article reviews the empirical literature on its benefits but finds a disappointing lack of evidence. Finally, it considers even higher levels of systems change, involving psychologists learning to work with managers, accountants, politicians, and economists, which will be required to achieve sustainable integrated primary mental health care. |
