Course on Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry and Psychosomatics
( Consult the meeting's Web pages.)
Sponsored by: European Psychiatric Association [EPA], (l'Association européenne de psychiatrie)
October 20-22, 2011
Berlin, Berlin, Germany
This course will be given in collaboration with the Evangelische Krankenhaus Königin Elisabeth Herzberge GmbH [KEH].
Consultation-liaison [CL] psychiatry is one of the most interesting fields in psychiatry, a hot spot at the interface of psychological and somatic medicine. To be efficient and successful in this field, the CL psychiatrist has to be knowledgeable and skillful in operating as an outpost of psychiatry in medical-surgical departments with quite different cultures than those accustomed to in psychiatric wards or clinics. He or she has to be prepared to manage difficult team situations, mediating between staff and patients with somato-psychiatric comorbidity, learn to connect immediately with difficult medically ill patients under time constraints, and above all know how to formulate organic differential diagnoses for “abnormal behavior” that has been deemed by medical staff prematurely to be “psychiatric”.
This course aims at developing these skills for beginners in CL-psychiatry, as well as providing the possibility of discussing and deepening the experience for seasoned ones. Hence, the program touches upon areas relevant to this field, such as delirium, depression, drug interactions, Dialectical Behavior Therapy [DBT] skills for difficult patients in the general hospital, and many others.
