The book "Prática psiquiátrica no hospital geral: interconsulta e emergência" [Psychiatric practice in the general hospital: consultation-liaison and emergency] is a major contribution for professionals in the mental health area, and not only for psychiatrists who work with consultationliaison in general hospitals. The need for a second edition in such a short period of time is selfexplanatory. Residency training programs in our academic community have "adopted" it as a textbook. The author's involvement in graduation activities and scientific meetings with the psychiatric community in the state of Rio Grande do Sul is a reflection of his comprehensive scientific work focused on this theme.It has been written with the spirit of a clinician and professor, based on his years of experience in those areas. Dr. Neury Botega is a professor of medical psychology and has organized the Consultation-Liaison Service at Hospital de Clínicas of UNICAMP in 1986. Since then, its internship has been a major part of the residency program in psychiatry. Dr. Botega has been teaching and researching in this area; more recently, he has focused on suicidal behavior.
