    Abstract:
    The subjects were 95 medical and surgical inpatients referred to Kyushu University Hospital Psychiatric Consultation Service. The authors studied the mental status of each referred patient and elicited some Unclassified mental status cases. It was recommended, therefore, to bring in new concepts of normal condition and polymorphous condition in dealing with those Unclassified mental status cases which are often recognized as problematic both by the patient's primary physician and the psychiatric consultant. The ordinary style Single contact consultation was also compared with the Active follow-up consultation regarding the function of psychiatric consultations. The authors confirmed that most referring physicians who were supported by the Active follow-up consultation appreciated highly the evaluating function of a psychiatric consultant.
