The general practitioner as an effective counsellor.
Counselling is a therapeutic process that takes place during structured conversations between counsellor and client. General practitioners have the opportunity to gain clinical, psychological and social insights about their patients and their patients' problems. Personal and professional preparation must be made to enhance this role.
