Abstract
I describe the cooperation between a general practitioner and a clinical psychologist in private practice through the presentation of three patient encounters. An effort is made to stimulate general practitioners in private practice to evaluate their knowledge about psychological problems, and to improve their team building efforts with clinical psychologists. Practical hints on how to implement this are proposed.
