Commentary and perspectiveThe practice of consultation-liaison psychiatry in Japan

AbstractConsultation-liaison (C-L) psychiatry has been developing for the past 10 years as a new clinical service field in Japan. Although this kind of service had been practiced previously, it was not recognized as an independent clinical field. Still in the developing phase, clinical research in C-L psychiatry has been reported, although its quality has been variable. The authors describe the development and a typology of C-L psychiatry (seven types) in Japan. This article reports time spent on C-L psychiatry activity in a general hospital. Although C-L psychiatry requires much time and labor, hardly any of the C-L psychiatry services are reimbursed in the Japanese insurance system. The authors propose a “new department” as one option to continue providing C-L psychiatry service to general hospital patients and for further development of C-L psychiatry in Japan.

Development of consultation-liaison psychiatry in the Netherlands: Its social psychiatric heritage

AbstractDutch consultation-liaison psychiatry (C-L psychiatry) has followed a developmental line separate from the American system. First, C-L psychiatry in the Netherlands has been less influenced by psychosomatic medicine than by social psychiatry. Second, the presence of psychiatric units in general hospitals that appear to be correlated with the growth of C-L psychiatry in the United States occurred later in the Netherlands. Third, little government support for clinical care, research, and especially for training has been available to Dutch psychiatry. Consequently, there has been little recent financial pressure on C-L psychiatry from reduced government support, as occurred in the United States. Finally, the relationship between primary and secondary health care in the Netherlands allows C-L psychiatry to have a direct impact on several inpatient and ambulatory levels in the health care chain. A nationally accepted database form for the computerized registration of the Psychiatric Read more...

Psychiatry and internal medicine resident education in an acute care medical-psychiatry unit

AbstractA Medical-Psychiatry Program has been developed at the University of Iowa. It includes a medical-psychiatry unit, a medical-psychiatry lecture series, a medical-psychiatry residency program, and a medical-psychiatry fellowship. The program enables residents pursuing straight psychiatry or internal medicine training to participate in a rotational experience requiring that they evaluate and treat patients for illnesses in both specialties under the supervision of both a staff psychiatrist and internist. During the rotation the resident learns how psychiatric and medical disease in the same patient complicates patient care and the skills needed to diagnose and treat such patients in the climate of their own specialty. The rotation is considered a valuable training experience by the majority of residents going through the rotation.

Training Undergraduates in Psychiatry in the twentyfirst centuryS04-01 - Training of medical students in psychiatry in England

In the UK less than 4% of medical students choose psychiatry. This number has remained reasonably static but there have been an increase in the number of medical schools. There are many reasons why medical students in the UK get put off by psychiatry among these are the stresses experienced, not the right type of placement, stigma against psychiatry and psychiatrists by other disciplines and specialties. There has been massive changes in training system in the last 3 years and changes are continuing. Foe any psychiatric trainee the aim of training is to provide a doctor with an educational programme, which enables him or her to practice independently in psychiatry, whether as a consultant or as a senior member of an academic department. The Royal College of Psychiatrists has been in existence in some form since 1841 and as a body responsible for training is taking the shortfall in recruitment seriously. The report of a scoping group will be described along with lecture historical lesso Read more...

Psychiatry in the People's Republic of China

AbstractIt is hoped we have conveyed for the American psychiatrist a brief glimpse into some of the developments and practice of modern Chinese psychiatry. Today the dominant theoretical and practical orientation to psychiatry in the People's Republic of China is descriptive and biologic. Chinese psychiatry in the People's Republic of China has a wide range of interests and continues to be influenced by the psychiatric schools of Germany, Russia, Britain, and America, however, with her own special way of development.

EECP 04Is addiction medicine part of psychiatry?

Addiction medicine/psychiatry, a medical subspecialty founded on October 1991 by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, was granted as subspecialty within psychiatry. It mainly deals with medical assessment, diagnosis and treatment of subjects who suffer from an addiction (i.e. drug and/or alcohol addiction; gambling; sexual addiction; game addiction; and so on). Addiction psychiatry also deals with subjects in dual diagnosis, i.e. individuals with addiction issues along with co-occurring psychiatric disorders. However, despite its well established “dignity” to be part of psychiatry, most mental health's professionals believe that it is not a primarily psychiatric field due to the frequent co-occurrence of internistic/medical issues. In addition, the situation of psychiatric training specifically addressed to addiction is widely diversified across the European countries. Therefore, most psychiatrists do not possess specific qualifications and formation on this increasing f Read more...

ReviewThe first 25 years of the Department Psychiatry II of Ulm University/Bezirkskrankenhaus Günzburg (Era Lungershausen and Schüttler)

AbstractThe Bezirkskrankenhaus (BKH) Günzburg was founded in 1915 as a state hospital for psychiatry in Bavaria/Germany. The psychiatric state hospitals were typically situated in rural areas outside big cities. In the 1970s a movement of country wide psychiatry reform was going on involving the state hospitals with their large numbers of severely ill psychiatric patients in reform and research projects. By 1977 the Bezirkskrankenhaus Günzburg represented a center for nervous system disorders involving psychiatry, neurosurgery and neurology departments. The first 25 years of the new Günzburg psychiatry university department were embedded in a general development in Germany.

Adaptation of residents to consultation-liaison psychiatry: II. Working with the nonpsychiatric staff☆

AbstractWhen working with the staff in a general hospital, psychiatry residents may be overly competitive, solicitous, or detached. These defensive reactions often arise because of the special challenges of performing a consultation, including the skepticism about the value of psychiatry and the demeaning or unrealistic expectations about what the psychiatrist can do. Furthermore, the psychiatry resident feels even more challenged if the attitudes and behavior of the staff must be changed for the patient's benefit. To affect this influence on the staff the psychiatry resident may need to assume a “liaison stance.” This stance involves not only establishing a collegial alliance but also using modified therapeutic maneuvers to alter staff behavior. By applying psychodynamic knowledge to understand and potentially to influence the staff, psychiatry residents, as participant observers, can feel less helpless and frustrated by difficult liaison situations.

P03-537 - How medical student placements at a psychiatry hospital can be utilised to make psychiatry a popular career choice

It is perceived that negative attitudes towards mental illness in undergraduate medical students can impact student's decision in choosing psychiatry as a medical career. Improvement in psychiatry placements for undergraduate medical students can result in changing student's attitude towards psychiatry as a career choice. We demonstrate how students’ placements from various medical schools at a major psychiatric hospital contributed towards enhancing student's interest towards psychiatry. Medical students who had their placement over the last one year were contacted for an anonymised student perspective survey.While majority of students did not have psychiatry as their potential career choice before they started their placements more than two third rated psychiatry as a potential career choice based on their experience from the placements. This encouraged us to improve the placement standards based on student's perspective. Students suggested that more use of medical training in psyc Read more...

ArticleChild Psychiatry and Legal Liability: Implications of Recent Case Law

AbstractThis paper discusses some recent developments in the law which affect the practice of child psychiatry. New areas of professional liability are reviewed including the legal responsibility of the psychiatrist for “negligent” evaluations. Also discussed is the impact of child abuse legislation upon the standard of care in child psychiatry. The increasingly important role of psychiatrists in the legal system is viewed as a trend which will place the profession at greater risk of civil liability in the future. The need for generally accepted guidelines for conducting specialized evaluations is emphasized. J. Am. Acad. Child Adolesc. Psychiatry, 1990, 29, 6:958–962.

Consultation-liaison psychiatry in general hospital

AbstractThe scope and functions of consultation-liaison psychiatry are outlined. Psychiatric consultants to other health professionals, in and out of general hospitals, apply and teach the psychosomatic approach to the diagnosis and management of all illness. They help bridge the gap between medicine and psychiatry, biology and the behavioral sciences. They perform clinical, teaching and research functions and play an increasing role in undergraduate and postgraduate training of doctors and related professionals. Growing complexity of this work calls for special training for it and its recognition as a subspeciality of clinical psychiatry.

W26Training in old age psychiatry: The 30 countries’ perspective

To improve the care of older people with mental health problems it is necessary to have a highly skilled workforce who is very well-trained in the diagnosis and management of the range of the psychiatric problems affecting older people including the dementias. Key to this is the need to have an adequate number of specialists in geriatric psychiatry and a wider recognition of geriatric psychiatry training across Europe including a broad agreement on training requirements. In 2012 the European Association of Geriatric Psychiatry (Toot et al.) published the results of a Europe wide survey on geriatric psychiatry training to scope current practice and develop recommendations to begin a debate on harmonization. Representatives from 30 out of 38 (79%) representatives responded including many from countries where old age psychiatry was not formally a specialty. Training programs and duration varied between countries. Eleven countries reported that they had geriatric psychiatry training progra Read more...
