title: Models of care for co-occurring mental and medical disorders.
abstract: In this article we review practice models for treating common mental disorders in primary care. Novel treatment approaches by primary care providers and specialty providers, including collaborative care and telepsychiatric models, show considerable promise. An understanding of remaining barriers to improved care suggests several possible solutions and future directions for outpatient psychosomatic medicine.
