Emergency psychiatry: a product of circumstance or a growing sub-speciality field?

CONCLUSIONS: Emergency psychiatry, and in particular the application of specialised psychiatric models of in-reach service and short stay units, is an increasingly important and growing field of psychiatry that warrants further exploration in research. The Emergency Psychiatry Service at Flinders Medical Centre has developed a distinct group of assessment and treatment approaches that exemplifies this growing field.
