“…The current study echoed the findings of previous therapist effect studies in integrated (Ulupinar, 2021) and non‐integrated (e.g., Okiishi et al., 2003, 2006) centers as well as student training clinics (Banham & Schweitzer, 2016) showing that mental health providers demonstrated differential performances.…”

“…A viable solution to facilitate collaborative treatment planning is the Integrated Primary and Behavioral Healthcare (IPBH) approach. IPBH programs involving primary care physicians and mental health professionals such as clinical mental health counselors and clinical psychologists provide more effective treatment than primary care alone for anxiety and depressive disorders (Archer et al, 2012;Lenz et al, 2018;Ulupinar, 2021).…”

Depression and anxiety are two of the most common mental disorders treated in Integrated Primary and Behavioral Healthcare programs. We investigated the within and between performance differences of mental health counselors on anxiety and depressive symptomatology in an integrated service with a sample of 1573 clients and 10 licensed professional counselors. The results of growth curves within the framework of Multilevel Modeling showed significant within and between performance differences among counselors treating anxiety and depressive symptoms. Some counselors performed better in treating anxiety symptoms while others did better treating depression. Implications for counselor education, client care, and legislation are provided. K E Y W O R D Sanxiety, depression, integrated primary and behavioral health care, therapist effect Anxiety and depressive disorders have been identified as the most common mental illnesses for decades among the general population (Demyttenaere, 2004;Spitzer et al., 1994; World Health Organization [WHO], 2017, 2022. According with the World Health Organization (Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation, 2021) depression is a common disorder affecting about 280 million people worldwide, which represents an estimated 3.8% of the world population affected, including 5.0% adults and 5.7% older adults (>60 years). Anxiety disorders affect about 3.6% of 10-14-year-olds and 4.6% of 15-19-year-olds, and 3.8% of older adults worldwide (WHO, 2021). Furthermore, the global prevalence of depression and anxiety increased by a massive 25% in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic (WHO, 2022a). Unfortunately, between 50% to a 75% of people in low-, middle-, and highincome countries receive no treatment or receive low-quality treatments (WHO, 2022b).The US 12-month prevalence of any anxiety and depressive disorder was 19.1% and 8.4%, respectively, among adult population in 2020 (National Institute of Mental Health [NIMH], 2022). Recent figures suggest that lifetime prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder is 3.7% (Ruscio et al., 2017) while lifetime prevalence of major depressive disorder is 20.6%

“…The online workshop showed that professionals working in any location can use their knowledge and skills to advocate for the development of necessary additions to the clinical base of psychiatric care (Collins, 2020; Kutcher & Wei, 2020; Ranjbar et al, 2019). This workshop not only achieved its goal of training the trainers, but also introduced an innovative and interactive framework that might be adapted in various contexts in the future (Baessler et al, 2015; Ruble et al, 2021; Schwartz & Brenner, 2021; Ulupinar, 2021).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted scientific gatherings and conferences, opening up opportunities for virtual learning platforms. Realizing the potential of online academic exchanges, the World Psychiatric Association (WPA) also developed virtual avenues and information systems for capacity building of mental health professionals across the world. Among its first such initiatives, the WPA organized a virtual Train the Trainers workshop, where 123 psychiatrists, psychiatric trainees, and educators from 45 countries participated. The innovative and interactive workshop allowed participants to get to know each other, exchange educational and professional experiences, and ask questions or receive advice from experts. Keynote speakers, including WPA President Prof. Afzal Javed and Prof. Norman Sartorius, stressed upon the importance of finding innovative solutions in psychiatry training and the need to improve teaching and training in the field of psychiatry, especially in the provision of
