The clinical experiences of successfully extending liaison psychiatry to a private patient medical service in a general teaching hospital are presented via brief case histories and discussions. Differences of setting compared to the service wards are illustrated. The prospect of the diminishing availability of service cases for teaching purposes emphasizes the timeliness of this program. Teaching strategy de-emphasized personality theory and concentrated on simple, practical tactics beneficial to patient, house officer and attending physician. Acceptance of the pilot program enabled extension of liaison psychiatry to a total of three private-patient medical services.
