ABSTRACT
Consultation-liaison psychiatry (C-LP) has been defined as the area of clinical psychiatry that encompasses clinical, teaching and research activities of psychiatrist and allied mental health professionals in the non psychiatric divisions of a general hospital. Over the years, consultation-liaison services have expanded to provide care in health care facilities other than the general hospital, such a community health clinics, rehabilitation centers, convalescent hospitals, nursing homes and doctors' private offices. The term Consultation-Liaisons reflects two interrelated roles of the consultant. Consultation refers to the provision of expert diagnostic opinion and advice on management regarding a patient's mental state and behavior at the request of another health professional. Liaison refers to a linking up of groups for the purpose of effective collaboration. The present chapter reviews how these roles are addressed in Trinidad and Tobago.
