“…[18] In the consultee-oriented approach the motive of the consultee and his related difficulties and expectations are the major focus. [19] The situation oriented approach focuses on the interpersonal interactions of all the members of the clinical team involved in the care of the patient for whom consultation had been sought are taken into consideration to understand the patient's behavior and the consultee's concern about it. [20] The expanded psychiatric consultation model includes an operational group that involves the patient, the clinical staff, other patients, and the patient's family, however the central focus is the patient for whom consultation has been sought.…”

Over the years Consultation-Liaison (C-L) psychiatry has contributed significantly to the growth of the psychiatry and has brought psychiatry very close to the advances in the medicine. It has also led to changes in the medical education and in the providing comprehensive management to the physically ill. In India, although the General Hospital Psychiatric units were established in 1930s, C-L Psychiatry has never been the main focus of training and research. Hence there is an urgent need to improve C-L Psychiatry services and training to provide best and optimal care to the patients and provide best education to the trainees.

“…Scattered articles 1 • 11 • 8 -12 have cited examples of the problems encountered by present-day psychiatric consultants in general hospitals, and some controversy has arisen about whether the consultant should be "patient-oriented" or "consultee-oriented" (i.e., whether the consultant's interest should focus on the patients or on the referring internist's psychologic reactions) . 13 In general, the cases reported in this literature are not the sort one encounters in the rest of the psychiatric literature.…”

“…Their early efforts were primarily directed at the training of medical students, fellows, and residents in psychiatry in an extensive program of liaison and consultative approaches. Schiff and Pilot emphasize the importance of a consultee-oriented approach in which the psychiatrist's role is one of elucidating the consultee's concerns and elaborating them with the aid of a focus on a particular patient [2]. The consultant takes on the role of teacher in this approach and attempts to generalize from the case that is presented.…”

A psychiatric liaison program on a medical intensive care unit is described. The principle elements of the program include the psychiatrist becoming a member of the MICU "team" via: 1) attendance at morning medical rounds; 2) conducting case conferences; 3) availability to the nursing staff as a separate entity; 4) consulting with the unit directors; and 5 ) supervising a resident in psychiatry in his consultative work on the unit. The liaison psychiatrist's presence on the team facilitates an holistic approach to the patient and deals with intra-staff and patient-staff reactions in the critical care setting.Liaison psychiatry, in the past ten years, has assumed an increasingly important role in promoting an holistic approach to the patient. The liaison psychiatrist attempts to bridge the gap between mind and body, viewing the medically or surgically ill patient as needing attention for his physical problems as well as hs psychological reactions to those difficulties. Furthermore, he is sensitive to the interplay between staff and patient and the impact of that interaction on patient care.We have had an experience, over the past two years, in which a psychiatrist has been integrated into the treatment team of a medical intensive care unit in a large university hospital. This article will describe our experience and present a model for the psychiatrist's role on the MICU team as clinician, teacher, and consultant. Our model demonstrates a balance between liaison and consultative
