Abstract

The increase of consultations related to problems and mental disorders in Primary Care and the characteristics of this level of care (mass of patients, hyper-attendance, etc.), add meaning to the debate on the participation of psychologists in this context. Furthermore, in recent years a better adaptation of psychological treatments to real application contexts has been claimed, what would entail, among other actions, its adjustment to brief formats of limited time. In the present work we analyze the importance of psychology in health problems within the public health system, focusing on the main issues and the current state of the situation in our country. At the same time, we reflect on the emergence of brief therapies as a low-cost therapeutic option to respond to the demands of the public health systems and how they are able to generate favorable results in clinical practice.
