Abstract
Two cases of seriously burned patients are presented which differ in initial psychiatric presentation and subsequent course. In each case, the role of the psychiatric consultant is described. The role includes direct evaluative and psychotherapeutic contact with the patient and liaison with the surgical and nursing staff. This dual approach is necessary for a consistent rehabilitative effort, particularly in hospitals that do not have a psychiatric liaison team.Keywords
