title: A clinical consultation-liaison experience in a rehabilitation service.
abstract: Consultation-liaison psychiatry, which seeks to make a clinical and cultural contribution to medical problems, is the subject of considerable debate at a theoretical level. Moreover, at least in Italy, it is far removed from total actualization in practical terms. On the basis of a clinical experience, the authors underscore how a fully articulated and complete consultation and liaison program can facilitate a third form of collaboration provided by the psychiatrist, i.e. on-going training. The authors define this as the process of focusing in on the casework and psychotherapeutic competencies of the medical staff.
