The psychiatrist: in the mainstream or on the banks of medicine?

The author discusses psychiatry's historical estrangement from general medicine, beginning with its isolation in mental hospitals, aggravated by a deterioration in medical school teaching of clinical psychiatry and by limited psychiatric training programs, and further alienated by much of psychosomatic theory and practice. He sees hope for reconciliation, however, in the recent progress of psychopharmacology and liaison psychiatry within the general hospital.

Psychological management of the myocardial infarction patient.

The acute coronary experience is divided into three parts. In the first, the pre-hospital phase, attention is devoted to the widespread phenomenon of patient delay. Evidence is given to indicate that the source of delay is entirely psychological and centers around the inability to decide whether or not to seek help. The second part, or hospital phase, describes the response of the patient to the various aspects of the coronary care unit, including monitoring, false alarms, witnessing and sustaining a cardiac arrest. The third phase, the post-hospital convalescence, centers on the principal psychological problem of this period, depression. Its causes, manifestations, and methods of management are discussed.
