"A mismatch between what is happening on the inside and going on, on the outside": a qualitative study of therapists' perspectives on student mental health.

Background: Although a growing number of studies indicates a high prevalence of reported mental health problems in students and that the problems are growing in number and severity, less is known about the experiences of students facing mental health problems and personnel who interact with students that seek help for these problems. The aim of this study is to examine the perspectives of therapists working with students seeking therapy for mental health problems.

Methods: A qualitative study of 15 therapists' perspectives.
