Group 'liaison' psychiatry as exclusive psychiatric therapeutic tool in a new burn centre.
Group work based on Balint groups and mental hospital staff meetings was used as the sole psychiatric support in a new burn unit. 38 meetings were held during which 77 "indirect consultations" were held. Results show that this method allows satisfactory treatment of more patients with less time required of the psychiatrists themselves.
