Zusammenfassung

This article begins by reviewing the role of Primary Care in the National Health System�s Strategy for Mental Health, highlighting theinadequacy of the solutions proposed for dealing with common disorders (anxiety and depression), given their condition as problemsof a psychological nature. The proposal set out is for the integration of Psychology in Primary Care on the basis of a contextual phi-losophy,different from that derived from the prevalent biomedical and bio-psycho-social model. This new philosophy includes areappraisal of psychological problems in contextual terms, related to life, rather than in psychopathological terms, related to biology.In this same line, the figure of the psychological health consultant is introduced, defining the role of the psychologist in Primary Care.Finally, it is shown how the new role of Psychology in Primary Care is endorsed by efficacy, profitability and user preference.
