TY - JOUR T1 - Management of neurotic problems in general practice JF - The Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners JO - J R Coll Gen Pract SP - 678 LP - 681 VL - 30 IS - 220 AU - Richard Mayou Y1 - 1980/11/01 UR - http://bjgp.org/content/30/220/678.abstract N2 - Very little is known of how general practitioners assess and treat psychological problems, which make up a substantial proportion of consultations. Sequential case histories were used as a basis for interviews with 20 experienced doctors. There was considerable agreement about diagnosis but wide variation in treatment. It is argued that clarification of precise strategies could be a basis for evaluation and improved care. ER -
