Consultation-liaison psychiatry and clinical ethics. Historical parallels and diversions.

As clinical ethicists increasingly populate hospital settings, a definition of their roles and responsibilities vis à vis those of consultation-liaison (C-L) psychiatrists remains a matter of both interest and uncertainty. Both fields share certain evolutionary and ideological features, yet until very recently, psychiatry has ignored medical ethics, leaving the field to other medical specialties. This estrangement can be explained by psychiatry's traditional suspicion and devaluation of moral philosophy and its more recent wish to be identified more with biomedicine than with the "softer" social sciences and humanities. C-L psychiatry has both a lot to offer and a lot to learn from clinical ethics.

An annotated bibliography for ethics training in consultation-liaison psychiatry.

The expanding field of bioethics has created a need in psychiatry for rapid access to the complex bioethics literature. This is especially true in consultation-liaison work. An annotated bibliography was created by a task force of the Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine charged with exploring how psychiatrists function on bioethics committees. The bibliography is organized into headings that reflect how bioethical problems came to the attention of psychiatrists. Introductory references allow the reader an overview of the history of bioethics and a selection of useful textbooks. References are provided explaining how ethical principles are used. References are also organized by areas of medical work frequently visited by consultation-liaison psychiatrists.

Chronic factitious illness: a behavioral approach.

This paper describes a unique treatment for chronic factitious illness. While primarily behavioral in orientation, the treatment was designed to account for underlying dynamics of patients with this disorder. The advantage of combining behavioral methods with dynamic conceptualizations are underscored. The limitations of this treatment with factitious illness patients are discussed.
