title: [Cooperation between the general practitioner and social medicine service].
abstract: The care of patients at risk and of addicts is more successful if the family physician and the psychologist combine their efforts and their know-how. The patient is included in this partnership based on mutual trust. With the example of a patient who lost his driver's licence, jeopardizing his employment, our therapeutic approach is described. More tolerance regarding drinking habits as well as care for relationships and awareness of genuine life quality would be desirable to prevent the development of addiction.
