Abstract:

Outpatient consultation-liaison psychiatry evolved from the application of clinical principles learned in inpatient work. The author reviews reports of outpatient C-L psychiatry and categorizes them into four groups: 1) Comprehensive Medicine Clinics; 2) Consultation to Other Outpatient Settings; 3) Psychiatric Consultation Clinics; and 4) Behavioral Medicine Clinics. Advantages and disadvantages of each are postulated, and evolution of these clinics to the present time as well as suggested future research directions are discussed.
