RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Family portraits—a method of recording family history JF The Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners JO J R Coll Gen Pract FD British Journal of General Practice SP 520 OP 526 VO 25 IS 156 A1 Cormack, J. J. C. YR 1975 UL http://bjgp.org/content/25/156/520.abstract AB Family doctors are particularly concerned with family relationships.
