“…Lipowski (1967) defined consultation psychiatry as that area of clinical psychiatry that includes all diagnostic, therapeutic, teaching and research activities for psychiatrists in the non‐psychiatric parts of the general hospitals. Studies have consistently noted high rates of psychopathology not only in children admitted to hospital but also in those presenting to GP surgeries with physical complaints (Kramer & Garralda, 2000; Meltzer et al, 2000; Street, 2000).…”

Background: High rates of psychopathology have been noted in children presenting to GP surgeries and paediatricians. However, paediatricians do not always recognise this and when they do the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) is often unable to meet their consultation needs. Method: This postal survey looked at paediatricians’ perception of the need for child psychiatry consultation in the West Midlands. Results: The survey confirmed that paediatricians see a significant proportion of children with mental health problems and the findings showed that their need for child psychiatry consultation was not being adequately met. Lack of access to CAMHS was a significant issue. Conclusions: This has implications not only for further development of consultation services within CAMHS but also for improving training in child psychiatry for paediatricians in a more formalised way.

“…In 1967, Lipowski [2] defined CL psychiatry as "that area of clinical psychiatry which includes all diagnostic, therapeutic, teaching, and research activities of psychiatrists in the non-psychiatric parts of a general hospital." Called by some the clinical arm [1] or an applied form [3] of psychosomatic medicine, CL psychiatry has been described as an organized subspecialty of psychiatry.…”

“…Some even optimistically predicted that psychiatrists would soon be required in all hospital wards and clinics [9]. Dubbed "proselytiz[ing]" [10], "indoctrination and infiltration" [11], "conversion" [8], or "professional fanaticism and salesmanship" [2] by some, this approach not surprisingly engendered strong resistance from nonpsychiatrists.…”

“…Various formal models for consultation were proposed, the balance between consultation and liaison activities was debated, and specific roles were defined. In 1967, Lipowski [2] published the historic three-part "Review of Consultation Psychiatry and Psychosomatic Medicine," which laid out the organizational and strategic aspects of psychiatric consultation and pointed out some of the challenges faced by this young field. During this period, consultation psychiatry became more integrated into residency training and fellowships were established.…”

This article takes stock of how far the field of consultation-liaison psychiatry has come since its inception in the 20th century. In order to do this, we review its past in terms of its knowledge base in psychosomatic medicine and in terms of its practice at the bedside in the general hospital setting. We also offer a contemporary account of the field and finish with a subjective view of the opportunities and pitfalls faced during the next phase of consultation-liaison psychiatry in the 21st century.

“…Mental health consultation-liaison services (MHCLS) have gained recognition as an area of special interest among mental health professionals concerned with clinical assistance and research in general hospitals (1,2). While liaison mental health is considered to be an area that works within the general hospital as a part of a multidisciplinary team, consultation assists a referral team when required.…”

The objective was to conduct a retrospective and comparative study of the requests for consultation-liaison (RCLs), during a period of six years, sent to the Occupational Therapy (OT) team that acts as the Consultation-liaison Service in Mental Health. During the studied period 709 RCLs were made and 633 patients received OT consultations. The comparison group was extended to 1 129 consecutive referrals to the psychiatric CL service, within the same period and that were also retrospectively reviewed. Regarding to RCLs to the OT team, most of the subjects were women with incomplete elementary schooling, with a mean age of 39.2 years, and were self-employed or retired. Internal Medicine was responsible for most of the RCLs. The mean length of hospitalization was 51 days and the mean rate of referral was 0.5%, with the most frequent reason for the request being related to the emotional aspects and the most frequent psychiatric diagnosis was mood disorder. It is concluded that there is a clear demand for the development of consultation-liaison in OT, particularly with regard to the promotion of mental health in general hospitals.
