Interpretatie en behandeling van psychosociale klachten in de huisartspraktijk : een onderzoek naar verschillen tussen huisartsen

In dit proefschrift wordt de vraag aan de orde gesteld welke factoren van invloed zijn op de interpretatie en behandeling van psychosociale klachten door huisartsen.

Abstract

The factors that influence the interpretation and treatment of
\npsycho-soei al complaints by general practitioners are discussed in
\nthis dissertation.
\nThe assessment of complaints differs considerably from one GP to
\nanother, in the sense that the one GP will attach significanee to
\npsychological and sociological factors in very many more cases than
\nanother GP. The frequency with which GPs prescribe psychopharmaca,
\nrefer patients to the mental health care authorities, or even enter
\ninto therapeutic discussions appears to vary from one doctor to another.
\nFor this reason the following broadly based question is put
\nin the first chapter: In what way is the interpretation and treatment
\nof complaints related to
\n- the norms, views and methods of the GP
\nthe expectation of the GP and the patient in respect of one another
\n- the communication between GP and patient during the consultation.
