Resumen:

This chapter describes the interaction between mental health professionals and various pediatric services in hospital settings. There are several types of consultation, some centered on the child and/or family, some on the physician treating a particular child or adolescent, and some focused on a medical team. In the USA, the main emphasis is on the expectation of a prompt diagnosis and psychopharmacological interventions. We describe the liaison model in which the mental health professional establishes a longstanding collaborative relationship with various medical teams. We address some common scenarios that require consultation. These often involve agitation, delirium, aggressive behavior, suicidal ideation or intent, noncompliance with medical treatment on the part of a child or adolescent. With families, there may be mistrust between the family and treaters, conflict with medical personnel, complaints or multiple demands that may be unreasonable as well as intrafamiliar conflict or tension. The expertise of a physician versed on the various medical conditions, effects of medications, the effects of the medical condition itself, and the interface with the emotions of children, parents and treaters, are all required to arrive at a complex diagnostic understanding and to offer appropriate treatment interventions. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
