Abstract

This paper will summarise the author's experience with the interdisciplinary approach to family diagnosis and treatment as practised in the setting of five teaching hospitals in a major city in the United States of America. It will describe how a small group of dedicated health care workers, having organised an interdisciplinary hospital team within one hospital, went on to develop a network of inter-related service and training programs in an intensely competitive environment which favors those who enhance their organisation's prestige, wealth, and power.
