Summary

Liaison psychiatry, the recognition and management of psychiatric problems in the general medical setting, is an essential component of many psychiatrists' work. Depression, anxiety and somatization disorders alone occur in about 50% of cases presenting to primary care physicians. The Handbook of Liaison Psychiatry 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 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 psychiatrists involved in liaison work.
