Psychological treatments for adults struggling with chronic physical health conditions with Prof Blake Dear

Having a chronic physical health condition such as osteoarthritis can have a negative effect on mental health which commonly manifests as depression or anxiety. Epidemiological research has shown that most adults with common mental health conditions do not access psychologically-based treatments. This is due to many reasons including costs, stigma, long waiting lists and availability outside of major cities.

Professor Blake Dear joins us to discuss the impact of mental health on the management of osteoarthritis and effective psychological treatments that can help to improve mental health in the long-term.

Professor Blake Dear is a Senior Clinical Psychologist within the Department of Psychology at Macquarie University. Blake completed his postgraduate Masters training at the University of Western Sydney in 2006 and later completed his PhD in 2010. Blake is the Director of the eCentreClinic; a research unit that develops and evaluates a range of psychologically-based treatments for common mental health and chronic physical health conditions. He is passionate about increasing access to effective psychological treatment, particularly for adults struggling with chronic physical health conditions.
