The family doctor and the social worker

S G Gang. Practitioner. 1975 May.

Abstract

Through cooperation with a social worker attached to his practice, a family doctor can obtain valuable help in coping with patients who present problems of marriage, parenthood, old age, bereavement, physical disability and psychiatric illness. This help does not replace that already available from existing services, need not interfere in the doctor-patient relationship, and increases the doctor's effectiveness.
