title: Psychotherapy with physicians' families: when attributes in medical practice become liabilities in family life.
abstract: Personality attributes typically found in successful physicians can lead to difficulties in family life. This paper identifies physicians' positive characteristics and demonstrates with case-history material how these characteristics can contribute to interactional problems with family members. Ways of engaging physicians in treatment and avoiding some of the common pitfalls in working with this group are discussed.
