Abstract

The authors present some of their experiences concerning psychiatric consultation in a 1,800-bed university hospital. Particular evidence is given to the development which the physician-psychiatrist relationship has had in the long run. The experiences refer to the consultation work carried out in the Department of Medicine, in the Division of Cardiology and in the Hemodialysis Unit.
