“…No association was found for postgraduate mental health qualifications. More recently, it has been shown that FPs with more complex psychosocial explanations of common mental disorders had greater interest, more training in mental health, and more positive attitudes to depression [25], using a composite of the four DAQ components identified by Botega et al [14].…”

“…In addition, study GPs were self-selected volunteers who may have been more experienced and positive about working with patients with mental health problems and specifically more interested in ways of understanding patients' problems. 28 Thus, there are questions about the generalisability of the study findings to the full range of GPs and patients with mental health problems.…”

BackgroundMental health problems are common in primary care and most are managed solely by the GP. Patients strive to understand their mental health problems, and facilitating patients' understanding may be important in their care, yet little is known about this process in GP consultations. AimTo explore how patients' understanding of common mental health problems is developed in GP consultations.

“…The Craft of Generalism has the potential to define and protect the whole of medicine and the people it serves from fragmentation. 84,90,91 The Craft of Generalism is a philosophical commitment to breadth of scope (Whole Person Scope), relationship as process (Relational Process), healing and health as a dynamic priority (Healing Orientation) and integration and interpretation of complexity as knowledge management (Integrative Wisdom). In a reductionist or constructivist world, the Craft of Generalism names something highly valuable to the community: care for the whole person.…”

Rationale, aims and objectives Generalists manage a broad range of biomedical and biographical knowledge as part of each clinical encounter, often in multiple encounters over time. The sophistication of this broad integrative work is often misunderstood by those schooled in reductionist or constructivist approaches to evidence. There is a need to describe the practical and philosophically robust ways that understanding about the whole person is formed. In this paper we describe first principles of generalist approaches to knowledge formation in clinical practice. We name the Craft of Generalism. Methods The newly described methodology of Transdisciplinary Generalism is examined by skilled generalist clinicians and translated into skills and attitudes useful for everyday generalist person‐centred practice and research. Results The Craft of Generalism defines the required scope, process, priorities, and knowledge management skills of all generalists seeking to care for the whole person. These principles are Whole Person Scope, Relational Process, Healing Orientation, and Integrative Wisdom. These skills and attitudes are required for whole person care. If any element of these first principles is left out, the resultant knowledge is incomplete and philosophically incoherent. Conclusions Naming the Craft of Generalism defines the generalist gaze and protects generalism from the colonization of a narrowed medical gaze that excludes all but reductionist evidence or constructivist experience. Defining the Craft of Generalism enables clear teaching of the sophisticated skills and attitudes of the generalist clinician. These philosophically robust principles encourage and defend the use of generalist approaches to knowledge in settings across the community – including health policy, education, and research.
