Practical aspects of full-time liaison psychiatry in gynecology
Abstract
A full-time liason psychiatrist can work within a department of obstetrics and gynecology. The full-time position described here includes administrative, clinical, teaching and research aspects within a general hospital affiliated with a medical school. The liason role can be established within a department outside psychiatry where medical and psychologic treatment can be rendered to patients simultaneously and the mediating role between psychiatry and medicine is truly a viable phenomenon.
