Abstract
Primary mental health care is an evolving system, in need of regular revision and requiring innovative and creative adjustments in order to provide the public with an easily accessible and appropriate level and type of service, based on best practice and evidence. This paper is the first in a series of three exploring primary mental health care. The Irish model of care, ‘Counselling in Primary Care’, is presented as well as a number of short-comings associated with that model. The short-comings include eligibility criteria governing access, limitations of service as well as waiting lists; and the medicalization of service delivery.
