Abstract
Many of the misunderstandings, frustrations, and disappointments that arise in the relationship between occupational physicians and psychiatrists stem from the failure to recognize and fully understand that the two groups of physicians, while having much the same orientation, also operate in two different systems that require different modes of professional behavior. When both groups more clearly understand the different systems by which they operate and work together to evolve modes of bridging those two systems, a truthful and respectful medical partnership is evolved, from which the patient is sure to benefit.
