  • Title: Teaching consultation-liaison psychotherapy: assessment of adaptation to medical and surgical illness.
    Author: Hunter JJ, Maunder RG, Gupta M.
    Journal: Acad Psychiatry; 2007; 31(5):367-74. PubMed ID: 17875621.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Little has been written about teaching consultation-liaison inpatient psychotherapy to residents or other trainees. METHOD: Resident interviews at completion of consultation-liaison training identified learning needs. In response, the authors created a seminar series and modified it reiteratively eight times. RESULTS: In this approach, the primary task of consultation-liaison psychotherapy assessment is to determine the success of a patient's adaptation to hospitalization, and to identify obstacles to adaptation. Selected determinants of adaptation are reviewed and organized as individual factors and intrahospital and extrahospital environmental factors. This provides a viable means of organizing and integrating disparate bodies of knowledge for the student. CONCLUSIONS: The teaching model awaits empirical validation as a tool that enhances teaching and patient care outcomes.
