Psychiatry in the neonatal intensive care unit
Abstract
The primary role of the psychiatrist in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is to assist in providing humane care for those in distress--the infants, the parents, and the staff. The issues that face NICU psychiatrists and the unique characteristics of these groups of individuals with whom they interact are presented.
