The rapid growth of the neurosciences in the past decade has served to blur the differences and enhance the similarities between research in medicine and in psychiatry. As the number of relevant biological variables and the questions asked in relation to them has expanded, so has the number of medical disorders of interest to the clinical researcher in psychiatry. In addition to these new areas of common interest, consultation-liaison psychiatry and clinical psychiatric research share a common conceptual foundation based upon model development and testing. It is proposed, therefore, that research at the interface between medicine and psychiatry represents a new frontier for both consultation-liaison psychiatry and clinical psychiatric research. Goals and strategies for research at the interface are discussed with specific reference to current research efforts at the National Institutes of Health.
在过去十年中，神经科学的迅速发展模糊了医学研究与精神病学研究之间的差异，增强了二者的相似性。随着相关生物学变量数量以及与之相关问题数量的增加，精神病学临床研究人员所关注的医学病症数量也在增加。除了这些新的共同关注领域外，会诊-联络精神病学和临床精神病学研究基于模型开发与测试拥有共同的概念基础。因此，有人提出，医学与精神病学交叉领域的研究是会诊-联络精神病学和临床精神病学研究的新前沿。本文结合美国国立卫生研究院当前的研究工作，讨论了交叉领域研究的目标和策略。
