[Elektronische Daten] [Elisabeth Arborelius, Kerstin Damström Thakker] If general practitioners are to take an active role in the secondary prevention of problems connected with alcohol, they must be able to discuss the subject in an adequate fashion. Interviews from a trial study showed that the greatest difficulties were lack of time and fear of spoiling the relationship with the patient. Earlier studies indicate that the latter problem may have several causes, in part arising from a desire not to infringe upon the integrity of the patient, and partly due to condemnation of excessive drinkers. In other words, the root cause is often contradictory conceptions of alcohol problems on the part of the physician. In order to ensure effective alcohol counselling in primary care, such conceptions must be dealt with in future training courses. © Oxford University Press The consultation nationallicence Arborelius Elisabeth Research Centre of General Medicine 171 76 Stockholm, Sweden aut Thakker Kerstin Damström Magnus Huss Clinic 171 76 Stockholm, Sweden aut Family Practice Oxford University Press 12/4(1995-12), 419-422 0263-2136 12:4<419 1995 12 famprj https://doi.org/10.1093/fampra/12.4.419 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 other jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/fampra/12.4.419 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Arborelius Elisabeth Research Centre of General Medicine 171 76 Stockholm, Sweden aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Thakker Kerstin Damström Magnus Huss Clinic 171 76 Stockholm, Sweden aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Family Practice Oxford University Press 12/4(1995-12), 419-422 0263-2136 12:4<419 1995 12 famprj Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
