Abstract
Psychiatry, in an attempt to attain scientific and academic respectability, has increasingly adopted the methods and organization of other disciplines. In doing so, it tends to lose many of the unique concerns and approaches that it brings to the area of patient care throughout the hospital and in the community. In order to preserve for and communicate to students and other physicians its unique conceptual approaches, psychiatry needs to develop liaison approaches in teaching, research and patient care that are collaborative and integrative rather than fragmented and segregative. Out of such activities, new formulations about the relationships between the environmental, psychological and physiological may be forthcoming.
