Teaching family psychodynamics in a family practice center: one experience.
This paper describes a method of teaching family psychodynamics in a new family practice center. Initially, there were difficulties in engaging staff because of inappropriate teaching methods and personal and professional identity conflicts. Ultimately, a sequential program of video playbacks, live interviews and case conferences was developed. The residents' four-month rotation in psychiatry proved essential for developing comfort with psychological and familial aspects of psyical illness.
