TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - The psychiatric interview in the emergency department JO - Emergency medicine clinics of North America A1 - Meyers, J. A1 - Stein, S. SP - 173 EP - 83, vii VL - 18 IS - 2 N2 - Psychiatric assessment of patients in the emergency department requires a psychological and medical approach.

A multidimensional, nonreductive description then guides the treatment and disposition of patients in the emergency department.
