A wealth of studies support the assertion that patients seen by medical doctors for physical complaints can often be helped by psychotherapeutic intervention. Many physical ailments have been linked to emotional problems, and practitioners are beginning to understand that emotional and physical health are highly interrelated. Even very brief mental health intervention can reduce the number of visits for medical care, the studies show. Despite some obvious methodological shortcomings, past studies and literature reviews strongly endorse the development of a closer working relationship between mental health and physical health professionals. The need for extensive additional research with sound methodological design is discussed. The economic and organizational implications of this relationship are also explored from the perspectives of physical and mental health practitioners, patients, group health plans, and third-party payers.
因身体不适而就医的患者通常可通过心理治疗干预得到帮助。许多身体疾病都与情绪问题有关，从业者也开始认识到情绪健康与身体健康密切相关。研究表明，即使是非常简短的心理健康干预也能减少就医次数。尽管过去的研究和文献综述存在一些明显的方法缺陷，但它们强烈支持心理健康专业人员与身体健康专业人员建立更紧密的工作关系。文中讨论了进行具有合理方法设计的广泛额外研究的必要性。还从身体健康和心理健康从业者、患者、团体健康计划以及第三方支付者的角度探讨了这种关系的经济和组织影响。
