[Psychiatric group supervision in general practice. A project evaluated by group focusing].

A group supervision project in psychiatry in general practice was established in 1992. The aims were to increase competence and interest in psychiatry and to contribute to a supervision model in psychiatry among general practitioners in a sparsely populated area. The group leader, who was a psychiatrist with competence in group analysis met with seven physicians for a three hour evening meeting once a month over a period of two years. The meetings were structured with a planned session at the beginning followed by a more open session. A focus group approach was used as the evaluation method. This method showed its usefulness in enabling the group to adjust its structure after an evaluation conducted after one year had passed and the conclusion at the end of the project period was: Group supervision can contribute to increased competence in psychiatry among general practitioners. It seems to increase the doctors' confidence and endurance in relation to psychiatric problems in family practice and provides an important opportunity to share difficult experiences with colleagues.

[Women physicians. Developmental tendencies in specialization and career patterns].

An earlier study showed that female doctors were found in specific subgroups of the medical profession. Their choices were probably governed by traditional ideas about feminine versus male role-expectations. This study shows that there still exists marked sex differences within the medical profession. Female doctors are still to be found in specific specialities. Seen in relation to male doctors the degree of specialization among female doctors decreased from 1972 to 1986. This is probably due to the fact that there are many young female doctors who have not yet completed their specialization. In married couples of doctors on the contrary, there is an increasing tendency towards equality of professional career, since the female partner now more often reaches the same career level as her husband, and with less lag in time.
