“…Hence, the patients' bill of rights (PBR) publicized by the Saudi Ministry of Health (MOH) [57] has led to a stronger call for providing an insight into awareness and knowledge of patient's rights such as right to confidentiality and privacy [58]. To reduce stigma, Angantyer et al [6] perceived brief therapy at PHC as less stigmatizing for clients, especially when it is conducted by a qualified psychotherapist [59]. Other programs to fight against negative attitudes and beliefs about mental illness can be implemented via public awareness campaigns, media messages targeting documented stigma and discrimination [60], and well trained psychologists who have knowledge of PHC strategies and all techniques important for providing effective psychotherapy [19].…”

“…Much evidence supports the need for integrating psychosocial and behavioral healthcare into PHC. For example, in developed countries, one-third of visits to PHC centers were related to psychosocial and behavioral problems [6], and more than two-thirds of the PHC medical appointments were related to psychosocial concerns [7]. In industrialized North America and Western Europe, 25% of disability that leads to premature death was accounted for by mental disorders [8].…”

Over the past few years, greater attention has been paid to the importance of incorporating behavioral health treatment into primary health care (PHC) settings in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The purpose of the present study was to compare the participants' satisfaction on psychological services and quality of life (QOL) among primary healthcare clinics, psychiatric hospitals and healthy controls. The Arabic version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life-short version (WHOQOL-Bref) and Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ) were administered to 36 PHC participants, 60 hospital participants, and 63 healthy controls. In all QOL domains, there was no significant difference obtained on participants' QOL between PHC and hospital settings. Except for similar score to PHC participants on overall QOL (OQOL), healthy controls scored higher than the other two groups on four QOL domains and General Health (GH) facet. As for clients' satisfaction, participants under PHC setting reported significantly higher satisfaction compared to hospitals and healthy controls. Hospital participants reported higher client care satisfaction than healthy controls. Improvement in the quality of mental health care such as ease of referrals and detection of undiagnosed mental health conditions could be the cause for higher satisfaction with PHC services. Stigma associated with mental illness creates serious barriers to Saudi patient's access to psychiatric clinics of large hospitals. There is a need for incorporating qualified mental health providers into PHC and educating the general public to become aware of certain beliefs and attitudes that limit access to treatment and prospects for recovery of persons with mental

“…sons for people to end up outside the labor market (World Health Organization, 2014). Unless these persons receive adequate help, there is a high risk of psychosomatic deterioration in the form of long-term disease states and persistent functional impairments (Angantyr, Rimner, Nordén, & Norlander, 2015). Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) has strong research support, and has been proven to be cost-effective (Butler, Chapman, Forman, & Beck, 2006), and therefore the demand for such treatment increases (Jervelycke, Larsson, & Norlander, 2017).…”

The vast majority of qualitative studies that examined the patient's own experiences of cognitive psychotherapy are about experiences from individual therapy. Studies dedicated to investigating how patients experience group treatment are more unusual, although such treatment contains components lacking in individual therapy. The purpose of the current study was to investigate which components and interventions have been considered significant by patients who achieved diagnostic improvements after performing Cognitive Behavior Group Therapy (CBGT) for individuals with clinical anxiety. Participants consisted of seven patients (2 men and 5 women) aged 21-61 whom took part in CBGT for patients with anxiety problems. Respondents were recruited from seven treatment groups in southwestern Sweden. Prerequisites to selection were that prior to treatment, they were diagnosed as having clinical anxiety, and that after treatment, their diagnosis of clinical anxiety had been removed. For analysis of data, the Empirical Phenomenological Psychological (EPP) method (Karlsson, 1995) was used. Results showed that respondents described their anxiety as a lack of security, and that their treatment increased their feelings of security. Three themes emerged which were important for creating security: 1) Sharing with others, 2) Knowledge, and 3) Structure. Further analysis indicated that a security process was established where the perceived security of the group, "outside the individual", could be moved to "inside the individual."

“…The growing complexity of the mental illness in combination with a growing numbers of new treatment models in CBT [5] [6] now sets a stronger demand also on therapists and trainers. There is now a need for therapists with a deep knowledge in general CBT skills, who also have a good overview on new methods and models.…”

Background: The guidance of prospective therapists focused on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is most often made by groups of four students. However, learning therapist skills is a sensitive process that will be affected by the processes which occur within the group. Objective: The aim was to examine prospective psychotherapists' attitudes to group assessments based on the revised version of the Cognitive Therapy Scale (CTS-R). Method: Participants were 56 students with an average age of 45.65 years (range = 31 -64). They were recruited from psychotherapy training at the Gothenburg University and the Evidens University College in Sweden. A questionnaire was constructed in which the questions were answered by check on visual analogue scales (VAS). Results: A majority of students consisting of 38 participants (68%) had a very positive approach to group assessments, while a minority of 18 participants (32%) was more negative. Most crucial for how to answer the question of group assessments was whether they considered themselves as fairly evaluated by their student colleagues within the group and whether or not only the supervisor should make the assessments. The view of group assessments (negative or positive) was not related to age, gender, and level of education in CBT or profession. In addition, both groups had a very positive view of both the CTS-R and the supervisors. Conclusion: It was concluded that more studies with the same focus are needed to determine the extent to which the results are generalizable.
