title: Medical implications of employee assistance programmes.
abstract: The development of employee assistance programmes (EAPs) has significant implications for doctors, especially general practitioners and psychiatrists. This paper discusses the importance of training counsellors to detect serious psychological disorders among people who use an EAP service and the need for clinicians to accept referrals of those users who are identified as being in need of further medical treatment.
