Group therapy in family medicine: part 4: a case report

This paper is the last of a four-part series and presents a case report of a patient who attended a 20-week course of group therapy in a family practice. She was a patient who identified herself as medically, but not psychiatrically, sick. She was appropriately investigated and referred within the practice for assessment of her suitability for group therapy. Her course of treatment is described and explained. The satisfactory outcome of this case suggests that there may be a place in a busy family practice for referral of this type of patient.
