title: [When can the family physician do?].
abstract: Even when a specific psychotherapy is undertaken, the family physician can be of use for the patient by using appropriate medicine. Hints for the communication, consultation, self-help, and the definite information exchange are given for different forms of anxiety diseases. The adequate diagnosis' elucidation of an anxiety disease is of great importance. The correct sequence of the arguments is helpful in reducing the resistance and for the acceptance of explanations. The problem of a patient's referral to a specialist is discussed.
