abstract: With the major changes in health care and general hospital practice in the last decade, practice and research in consultation and liaison psychiatry have also changed dramatically. The authors present a selected review of recent advances and implications for five important topics in consultation-liaison research: diagnosis, disease mechanisms, biologic treatments, health services, and psychosocial treatments for medical disorders.
