Marital and family therapy for troubled physicians and their families. A bridge over troubled waters
I. D. Glick and J. F. Borus
Because individual therapy for troubled physicians has been notoriously
difficult and often ineffective, we report our experience using a
treatment--marital therapy--newly applied to such problems in the medical
community. The sample involved 13 male physicians and their spouses with
emotional difficulties in themselves and/or their relationships. After
marital treatment, there was substantial improvement in more than 92%
(12/13) of the physicians, their spouses, and/or their marital
relationships.
