title: [Liaison psychiatry in an internal medicine clinic. Study of a subgroup of patients with psychogenic reactions and neurotic disorders].
abstract: Too little attention is paid to psychiatric consultation activities--and this also applies to the literature. Within the framework of an overall consideration of patients passing through a psychiatric consultation service in 1989 and 1990 at the Medical Department of the University Hospital in Ulm, the largest subgroup of patients with psychogenic reactions and neuroses were examined in detail. Among the psychiatric disorders diagnosed, anxiety disturbances clearly predominated. Among the psychogenic reactions these latter presented in the form of body-related anxiety and among the neurotic patients more often as a diffuse feeling of anxiety. With respect to the acceptance of the diagnoses and the passing-on of the therapeutic recommendations by the internist, certain reservations were observed, in particular involving patients with psychogenic reactions, which in the first instance were induced by the disease and associated diagnostic and therapeutic measures. For this patient group, however, more intensive management with respect to further treatment could be very helpful.
