Psychiatry shares with the rest of medicine all basic goals, assumptions, and approaches as well as many techniques. Any apparent "differences in approach" between psychiatry and general medicine arise from a confusion between the essentials and the specialized techniques and procedures developed in psychiatry. The educational task of psychiatry--to integrate relevant knowledge and skills from the behavioral sciences with the biological sciences and to operationalize a comprehensive approach to patient care--can be accomplished by the general psychiatrist through consultation and collaborative care of patients.
精神病学与医学的其他领域有着共同的基本目标、假设、方法以及许多技术。精神病学与普通医学之间任何明显的“方法差异”，都源于对精神病学中基本要素与专门技术及程序的混淆。精神病学的教育任务——将行为科学的相关知识和技能与生物科学相结合，并实施全面的患者护理方法——普通精神科医生可通过对患者的会诊和协作护理来完成。
