Abstract
Many psychologists are finding new opportunities for practice in prima ry care settings. These settings challenge many aspects of traditional practice and require adaptation and innovation. Psychologists must co nsider changes in their site of practice, treatment duration, type of intervention, and role as part of a health care team. This article des cribes the culture of primary care medicine and offers 10 practical ti ps for the adaptation of psychological practice to primary care.
