Abstract:
In the US, state medical licensing boards have the power to prevent sick doctors from practising if they do not undergo treatment. Every state has a programme for impaired doctors, most including a two-week hospital stay involving intensive psychotherapy. Research on recovery is limited, but some studies have found recovery rates of 75 per cent.
