Extract

Very few patients with ulcerative colitis are likely to be referred or to refer themselves for psychotherapy for their condition. Recently I was asked by a gastro-enterologist to see Caroline, a young woman in her early thirties, who had ulcerative colitis, with a view to her discussing having psychotherapy. This was because she had caused him and a social worker in this hospital to be concerned about her emotional state.
