Telepsychiatry, the satellite system and family consultation.
A pilot telepsychiatry session was conducted with the US Department of Defense Satellite Communication System. The subjects were a family incompletely divorced many years before. There were two satellite interviews with this family. Bringing together all members of the original family so that questions could be addressed as to what happened when the children were very young unblocked a 13-year-old communication problem.
