I can only use translate for the text of the first link, and from the title/abstract of the second both appear to support the portions of your comment I didn’t dispute. I agree with those. To clarify where I take issue, I’ll requote the portion that stands out as unsupported to me:
> The same effect could be achieved […] by replacing the therapist by a doctor
Therapists, across a wide spectrum of practices and disciplines, are doing a whole job without also addressing their patients’ medical needs. The inverse is true too. While some increased focus on emotional wellbeing by medical practitioners would absolutely be welcome, I think it’s a very bold claim that they could replace therapists even “just” in a medical context. It’s also quite a lot of burden to place on doctors and patients alike.
I’m all for doctors appreciating the psychological benefits of emotional care, but I don’t think that’s nearly enough to “replace the therapist”, even if anyone involved actually wanted that.
