Abstract
Otolaryngology and psychiatry both deal with disorders in communication and numerous clinical problems illustrate an overlap between these two disciplines. Primary psychiatric disorders may find somatic expression through otolaryngologic symptoms. In these situations attention must be directed at the underlying psychological disorder. Conversely, primary otolaryngologic disorders may have a broad range of psychological ramifications and complications. Among the areas in which examples are readily found are congenital problems, tonsillectomy and other childhood surgery, adolescent illnesses, cosmetic surgery, head and neck cancer and care of the dying patient.
