[Acute organic psychoses in the general hospital. II. Treatment and development].
This paper outlines the importance of close collaboration between the consultant psychiatrist and the non-psychiatric team. The aetiological treatment requires the competence of the physician, while the management of behavioral disturbances may require the intervention of the psychiatrist. The latter may be helpful in the choice of the right psychotropic medication and/or in counselling the team regarding the attitudes to be held towards the patient. Furthermore, the course of acute organic psychotic disorders is described.
