title: The combined use of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy in the medical setting.
abstract: A psychiatric consultation is a complex challenge that may require an evaluation across the full spectrum of possibilities, from the molecular level of neurotransmitters to the intricacy of large social systems. Many psychiatrists regularly perform consultations in the medical setting. This requires they pay attention to the special psychodynamic and psychopharmacologic issues involved in treating patients in the general hospital.
