Once more into the breach: doubts about liaison psychiatry.
The author, a consultation/liaison psychiatrist, reviews five important questions about liaison work which are pressing, but remain unanswered. With some trepidation, he seeks to temper the enthusiasm of his colleagues who, by prematurely promising more than can ever be delivered in the name of "holistic" and "biopsychosocial" medicine, may lead our discipline astray.
