A substantial percentage of primary care (PC) visits are motivated by some type of <dis>emotional disorder</dis>, especially depression, anxiety and somatization. 
These common <dis>mental disorders</dis> represent a significant burden for the people affected and for the society. 
Despite the availability of effective psychological therapies for these disorders, psychological interventions are rarely used in PC. 
The aim of the Psychology in Primary Care (PsicAP) project is to demonstrate the efficacy of a transdiagnostic cognitive-behavioural group therapy to treat the most prevalent emotional disorders in PC. 
This therapy, which involves only 7 sessions, is especially appropriate for PC settings. 
In the present article, we present the treatment manual, session by session, with extracts that illustrate key contents of the sessions.
