Abstract
This paper is concerned with the therapeutic problems posed by the troubled “medical” marriage. Based on the authors’ clinical experiences, certain common characteristics of these marriages are identified. Obstacles to early referral such as self-diagnosis and self-treatment are discussed, two illustrative case vignettes are presented, and therapeutic recommendations are outlined.Keywords
