General practitioners can use problem solving therapy (PST), an evidence-based approach, for mild to moderate depression. This article details PST stages, skill development, and addresses common challenges for GPs.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • General Practice
  • Psychological Therapies

Background:

  • General practitioners (GPs) in Australia manage most mild to moderate depression cases.
  • Many patients prefer non-pharmacological treatments for depression.
  • Problem Solving Therapy (PST) is an evidence-based psychological intervention suitable for GP delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define Problem Solving Therapy (PST).
  • To outline methods for developing PST skills in GPs.
  • To identify and address challenges encountered during PST implementation.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed description of the sequential, structured stages of PST.
  • Guidance on enhancing existing GP problem-solving skills for PST application.

  • Analysis of common difficulties in PST and proposed solutions.

    • Main Results:

    • PST is a structured, multi-stage therapeutic process.
    • While GPs may use some PST elements, structured application is less common.
    • Specific strategies are provided for GPs to learn and refine PST techniques.

    Conclusions:

    • PST offers a structured approach to managing mild to moderate depression in primary care.
    • Training and support can help GPs effectively integrate and utilize the full PST model.
    • Addressing practical difficulties can improve PST efficacy in general practice settings.
