Abstract:
This essay presents a perspective on intervention in psychiatric consultation based on the patient's subjective experience as supported by Kendler in 2005 in the American Journal of Psychiatry in his position against biological reductionism in psychiatry, distinguishing the psychic approach from the biological. The paper presents aspects of the setting and major features of the assessment in the consultation process, then proceeds to discussing principles of intervention as to specify dimensions of the psychiatric intervention in this particular context.
