Research that has developed in association with the consultation-liaison service at the Toronto General Hospital is reviewed in this paper. The value of systematic investigation in the consultation-liaison setting is addressed. Such approaches may be necessary to establish consultation-liaison psychiatry as a theoretical discipline which can advance knowledge in addition to enhancing patient care.
