The nonprofessional hospital volunteer as a member of the psychiatric consultation team

The use of a nonprofessional volunteer as a link between the patient and the psychiatrist in the psychiatric consultation service of a general hospital is described. The volunteer has interacted with patients and psychiatrists successfully in several ways. In addition to her participation in rounds, she helps contribute to diagnosis as well as to patient care through activity therapy and psychological support. Problems encountered in relation to staff and patients are discussed, but it is concluded that there are specific contributions that can best be made by a nonprofessional volunteer.

Low cost automatic control in mining: Reeve, G.R.Instrument Practice, 19, No. 11, 1019 (1965)

The records of all patients entering the Emergency Department of a large general hospital and an adjacent walkin medical clinic were reviewed for a 4-week period. Information was gathered on the assessment and treatment of patients given a final diagnosis of anxiety or panic disorder. The majority of patients receiving these diagnoses in both settings presented with physical complaints. In the Emergency Department, where psychiatric consultation services were available, psychiatric appointments were arranged for 80% of patients with anxiety as an entrance complaint and none of those with physical entrance complaints.

Outline of a school psychiatric service in Montreal.

For several years a psychiatric consultation service, now involving 1 1/2 days weekly, has been given to Area 5 schools of the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal, Area 5 having 10,000 children. Treatment is not part of the service, but cases requiring it are generally referred to appropriate physicians or clinics. Prior to actual interviews with the children, data are collected from all suitable sources and intelligence testing is done. The majority of referrals for psychiatric assessment seem warranted. This is illustrated in a Table showing the findings in 18 children from one classroom. Reports from the principals indicate their approval of the service and their wish to see it expanded.

A survey has been carried out on 205 consecutive referrals to the Psychiatric Department of the Montreal General Hospital over the six months' period from July 1st to December 31st, 1961. This study is presented as a pilot project in an attempt to provide a framework whereby an analysis of the different roles of a Consultation Service can be examined and the methods of functioning of the service and its expanding requirements can be more accurately ascertained.

The psychiatric emergency. Analysis of six months' experience of a university hospital's consultation service.

Introduction The purpose of this paper is to review the Psychiatric Emergency Consultation Service at University Hospitals over a 6-month period, from July 15, 1958, to Jan. 15, 1959. All emergency consultations seen by the Psychiatric Service are recorded in an Emergency On-Call book. During the 6-month period reviewed, there were 378 psychiatric emergencies recorded in the On-Call book. The original recorded for each consultation was reviewed, as was all additional University Hospitals data, if existing, for each emergency patient. This included outpatient charts and hospital records. There is a paucity of data concerning psychiatric emergencies as a group. Studies have been reported of psychiatric consultation in general hospitals, but these studies either did not consider the emergency aspect of the situation per se 1 or did not include outpatient consultations. 2 Descriptions of other psychiatric emergency clinic set-ups do exist but no published data on their
