“…The passing years have also seen increasing attendance at faculty conferences and recently a rapid growth in the number of consultant posts. The clinical need for liaison psychiatry services has long been apparent and there is a growing body of evidence to support the clinical effectiveness of pharmacological 23 and psychological treatments, particularly cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), 24 in liaison psychiatry. Large-scale studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of integrated care in treating depression in patients with cancer 25 and of CBT in improving symptoms of chronic fatigue.…”

Aims and method To record the development of liaison psychiatry in the UK and to summarise the current levels of activity. We also highlight the challenges the specialty may face if it is to develop further. History since the 1970s is reviewed by early pioneers and those involved in the present day, with a focus on the key role played by members of the Royal College of Psychiatrists.Results We describe the development of training guidelines, the publication of joint documents with other Royal Colleges, establishing international collaborations and defining service specifications. We emphasise the importance of collaboration with other medical organisations, and describe successes and pitfalls.Clinical implications Much has been achieved but challenges remain. Liaison psychiatry has a potentially important role in improving patient care. It needs to adapt to the requirements of the current National Health Service, marshal evidence for cost-effectiveness and persuade healthcare commissioners to fund services that are appropriate for the psychological needs of general hospital patients.

“…With the growing understanding of the biopsychosocial model of medicine, the causes of the disease have been elevated from a single consideration of biological factors to a holistic view, highlighting the impact of psychological, socio-environmental and natural environmental factors on human health. Studies at home and abroad have pointed out that the combination of pharmacological treatment and systematic psychological treatment can help patients with mental disorders improve their compliance with treatment 6 , 7 , which is of great importance in strengthening the assistance for patients with mental disorders, effectively reducing mental disability, promoting their rehabilitation and return to society, and maintaining social harmony and stability 7 . However, little research has been conducted in China on the population of adolescents seeking psychotherapy services.…”

Most mental health problems develop during childhood and adolescence, so identifying the mental health needs and care pathways of adolescents is crucial to improving prevention. This study aimed to understand the characteristics of adolescent patients with mental disorders receiving psychotherapy in China. Data were collected retrospectively from the psychotherapy records of 116 patients at the Weifang Mental Health Centre. Information collected included demographics, stressors, duration of psychotherapy, and clinical diagnosis. Chi-square tests and negative binomial regression models were used to explore the relationship between demographic and clinical variables. The results showed that depression was the most common diagnosis, followed by anxiety and stress-related disorders and bipolar and related disorders. Rural patients were more likely to report family stress, while urban patients were more likely to report school stress. Female patients were more likely to report family stress and to be diagnosed with depression. Family stress, social stress, school stress, patient origin and economic conditions were all significant predictors of the duration of psychological treatment. This study helps to understand the characteristics and psychotherapeutic needs of adolescents with mental disorders who receive psychotherapy in China so that the positive role of psychotherapy in the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of mental disorders can be better utilised.
