Although caregivers in many disciplines have provided home visits as part of their services, psychiatrists have rarely made house calls. The author discusses some of the practical and emotional issues that have traditionally caused both patient and psychiatrist sufficient discomfort to limit this model of therapeutic intervention. Special emphasis is made in support of the psychiatric house call for elderly persons.
