title: Developments in liaison psychiatry in the United Kingdom.
abstract: This paper reviews the organisation of liaison psychiatry in the United Kingdom and discusses the range of clinical problems which liaison psychiatrists undertake. It is suggested that, if services are to expand, more controlled intervention studies must be carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of psychiatry in a general medical setting.
