Liaison psychiatry, the recognition and management of psychiatric problems in the general medical setting, is an essential component of many doctors' work. Depression, anxiety and somatization disorders occur in about 50% of cases presented to primary care physicians. The Handbook of Liaison Psychiatry was first published in 2007 and is a comprehensive reference book for this fast-growing subspecialty. A team of experts in the field cover the full range of issues, from establishing a service and outlining the commonest problems encountered in general hospitals and primary care, to assessment and treatment guidelines, working with specific units within the hospital setting, disaster planning and legal-ethical considerations. It will be essential reading for doctors and other professionals concerned with the psychological health of patients in acute general hospitals and in primary care.

Le développement de la psychiatrie de liaison, de plus en plus reconnue comme une discipline à part entière, répond à la nécessité de prendre en charge les troubles psychiques des patients hospitalisés ou consultant à l'hôpital général, que ces troubles soient secondaires à la pathologie somatique, intriqués à celle-ci ou qu'ils en constituent un facteur favorisant ou précipitant.L'exercice de la psychiatrie de liaison, pionnière dans la promotion d'une médecine transversale et interdisciplinaire centrée sur le patient comprend non seulement une activité de consultation auprès du patient et de son entourage, mais également l'accompagnement et la formation des équipes médico-chirurgicales, visant à créer les conditions d'une prise en charge optimale aussi bien psychique que somatique.Fruit de l'expérience clinique et de la réflexion théorique d'auteurs francophones de plusieurs nationalités sur le rôle de la psychiatrie de liaison, l'ouvrage traite de l'ensemble des problématiques de façon complète et pragmatique :la définition de la discipline qu'est la psychiatrie de liaison ;les champs théoriques et cliniques connexes ;la consultation de psychiatrie de liaison (pourquoi, comment, avec quels interlocuteurs) ;les consultations spécifiques (avant un décision de traitement, avec d'autres équipes) ; les grands motifs d'avis psychiatriques (patient déprimé, agité, n'adhérant pas aux soins, etc.), avec un chapitre résumant la conduite à tenir pour chaque motif par des arbres de décision ; le travail avec les unités de soins somatiques spécifiques (cardiologie, cancérologie, etc.) ;la thérapeutique, médicamenteuse ou fondée sur les psychothérapies ;s situations particulières, enfin, auxquelles le psychiatre de liaison peut être confronté (fin de vie, particularités culturelles, etc.).Soucieux d'allier rigueur scientifique et pédagogie, l'ouvrage s'organise du plus général au plus spécifique, de la théorie à la pratique, pour apporter au lecteur des éléments utiles à sa pratique quotidienne et à sa réflexion sur celle-ci.

This subdiscipline forms an important part of training in psychiatry. This book provides an ideal first exposure to the inseparable nature of physical and psychological health and illness, and a comprehensive introduction to the broad range of disorders seen on the psychiatric consult service. Organized into a series of bitesized chapters, each focusing on a typical consult question, this handbook provides a practical and portable reference which should set both strategy and tactics for the next generation of consulting psychiatrists.
