Questionnaire replies from 43 experienced psychiatrists showed wide variation in the ways they would manage a common type of neurotic problem. There were considerable differences in the nature and duration of treatment and in the use of other members of the psychiatric team. The conclusions have implications for training and for the use of health care resources.
