title: A resident learns about family dynamics.
abstract: A family medicine resident just finishing a two-year program is faced with giving a lecture on family dynamics. At first he feels that he has learned nothing about family dynamics; but later after a fruitless library search for relevant material, he realizes he has learned several important things about the relationship between medicine and how families operate. What the resident learned, how he learned it and how it has made him a better physician are described by means of case histories.
