Evaluation of behavior therapy intervention in general practice

Evaluation of behavior therapy intervention in general practice

H C Koch. J R Coll Gen Pract. 1979 Jun.

Abstract

Thirty general practitioner consultations with patients with psychological problems referred to a clinical psychologist for behaviour therapy, were examined. Treatment was carried out wholly within the practice. Consultations for advice and psychotropic drug prescriptions were compared during one year, both before and after treatment, and were found to be reduced by over 50 per cent following treatment. Contact with clinical psychology services, therefore, considerably reduced the demand made by these patients for general practitioner time.
