Family practitioners are willing to tackle any problem to the best of their ability, and they can live with the idea that they need to learn more and more to improve their skills. They tend to find the time to upgrade their knowledge in seminars, journals, and other forms of courses. They are typically not deeply versed in any particular field, psychiatry included.
