Abstract
The authors review the development of liaison psychotherapy in general practice, and argue that a 'skill-sharing’ approach, where the general practitioner retains the treatment role, is a more efficient model than a ‘consultation’ approach. Skill-sharing models are reviewed, and the need for psychiatrists and psychotherapists to be more directly involved in teaching basic psychotherapeutic skills to general practitioners is emphasised.Keywords
