RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Service families: a new perspective for the general practitioner. JF British Journal of General Practice JO Br J Gen Pract FD British Journal of General Practice SP 78 OP 80 VO 40 IS 331 A1 Vincenti, G E YR 1990 UL http://bjgp.org/content/40/331/78.abstract AB The psychological problems among the dependents of armed servicemen presenting to general practitioners are discussed, with particular emphasis on how the peculiarities of service life contribute to their aetiology and presentation.

An understanding of this minority group with its different lifestyle and subculture is important for management of these disorders.
