The divorce rate in the United States is approaching 30 to 40 percent. Because the family physician cares for the entire family, he often finds himself in the midst of the turmoil created by the crisis of impending divorce. Using a case presentation, we have offered some specific suggestions to help the family physician manage this common problem. Few traditional training programs have adequately prepared the primary physician to be effective in marriage counseling. The integration of the behavioral sciences with the medical sciences should be a major goal of the developing discipline of family medicine. If training programs in family medicine successfully develop curricula that teach the skills required to support a troubled marriage, the family physician of the future may make a more significant contribution towards the preservation of the nuclear family.
美国的离婚率接近30%至40%。由于家庭医生负责照顾整个家庭，他常常发现自己置身于即将离婚危机所引发的混乱之中。通过一个病例展示，我们提供了一些具体建议，以帮助家庭医生处理这个常见问题。很少有传统培训项目能让初级医生充分具备在婚姻咨询中发挥有效作用的能力。将行为科学与医学科学相结合应是发展中的家庭医学学科的一个主要目标。如果家庭医学培训项目成功开发出能教授支持陷入困境婚姻所需技能的课程，未来的家庭医生可能会对维护核心家庭做出更重大的贡献。
