title: The family context of general practice problems. An aid for the new doctor.
abstract: The usual way of presenting the content of general practice relates only to the main or presenting diagnoses. Although this is a valuable tool for epidemiological purposes, it seems inadequate as a description of the content of the actual contacts made between the doctor and his patient. The range of topics which are discussed, or thought of, at the consultation is far wider than the summary diagnosis would indicate.
