Abstract

Home visiting in a black urban ghetto appears to be both safe and feasible. Patients who are unmotivated and isolated can frequently be helped. Home visiting can enhance motivation, improve the patient-therapist relationship, and facilitate treatment with difficult patients, especially when there are social and cultural gaps between the patient and therapist. There is also an opportunity to educate the family and enlist its cooperation in a therapeutic alliance.
