Anxiety, Depression and Somatoform disorders are highly prevalent in primary care. Very often these conditions remain undiscovered and/or untreated. In order to ease this urgent health care problem in the future, the investigators conduct a cluster-randomized controlled trial, implementing a tandem working cooperation between a nurse practitioner (Counseling Assistant - CA) and a general practitioner (GP) on-site its own practise. The CA's task is to enhance the patients abilities to engage in a better self-management of their psychological symptoms and complaints, to enhance self-efficacy and empower the patients to tackle problems of daily living.
