Abstract:

The present study aims at understanding the practice of psychological treatment of patients diagnosed with depression in Primary Care. In this study, depression is understoodits broad and universal perspective, taking the psychosocial dimensions of health into account. A group of 22 psychologists participated in the qualitative study. Data collection began with participant in-field observation in the institutional context, followed by a semi-structured interview. Grounded Theory method was used to analyze information, facilitating its integration and categorization. Results have shown that in Primary Care the treatment of depression is essentially restricted to its biological aspect; the choice of individual psychotherapy as the main form of attention refers to traditional practices of psychological treatment of depression; treatment plans that encompass institutional and community devices point to mental health interventions that address the psychosocial dimension. The findings indicate that overcoming the traditional models of attention to patients with depression and the construction of forms of treatment using psychosocial resources is an ongoing process, showing that comprehensive care needs to be further consolidated in Primary care.
