Group process in teaching family dynamics to family practice residents.
Behavioral science training in family practice at Madigan Army Medical Center, Tacoma, Washington, has used small group seminars to teach family dynamics on an experiential level. The group process is similar enough to dynamics within families to facilitate understanding by introspection. Small groups are an efficient method for teaching, and allow experiential learning to occur spontaneously as well as on a planned basis.
