title = "The academy of psychosomatic medicine practice guidelines for psychiatric consultation in the general medical setting",
abstract = "This practice guideline seeks to provide guidance to psychiatrists who regularly evaluate and manage patients with medical illnesses. The guideline is intended to delineate the knowledge base, professional expertise, and integrated clinical approach necessary to effectively manage this complex and diverse patient population. This guideline was drafted by a work group consisting of psychiatrists with clinical and research expertise in the field, who undertook a comprehensive review of the literature. The guideline was reviewed by the executive council of the Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine and revised prior to final approval. Some of the topics discussed include qualifications of C-L consultants, patient assessment, psychiatric interventions (e.g., psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy), medicolegal issues, and child and adolescent consultations.",

note = "Funding Information: The development of guidelines on the nature of psychiatric consultation and intervention is a serious undertaking that must be carefully reviewed. No single report on guidelines can be complete in itself. The Task Force endorses the Institute of Medicine's principles in the process of developing guidelines. The practice guidelines presented here represent a step along that process. Further efforts should be directed at the following: 1. Establishing the validity, reliability, and reproducibility of the guidelines; 2. Refining the clinical applicability, flexibility, and clarity of the guidelines; 3. Documenting the development, participant assumptions, and rationale behind creation of the guidelines; 4. Identifying opportunities for collaborative endeavors; 5. Maintaining a viable standing committee for guidelines development; and 6. Inviting interested parties to offer review and comment through contact of the office of the Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine (1-703-556-9222). The Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine is grateful for the generous support of Eli-Lilly, which made publication of this practice guideline possible. ",
