AB A survey was carried out to assess the difficulties encountered by general practitioners within a health district in the management of patients with emotional problems, and their attitudes to the involvement of clinical psychologists in primary health care. Based on the response to this survey a district community psychology service has been established. This is an adjunct to hospital-based services and attempts to overcome some of the shortcomings of traditional psychotherapeutic services.
