Description
Cutting Edge Medicine and Liaison Psychiatry/Psychiatric Problems of Organ Transplantation, Cancer, HIV/AIDS and Genetic Therapy
has been created in response to the demands from modern medicine for a focus on psychiatric problems in cutting-edge medicine, such as
those related to organ transplantation, genetic therapy, cancer and HIV/AIDS.
With the rapid changes of modernized societies, the
area of psychiatry is expected to deal with a greater range of disorders. The field is no longer limited to classic disorders such as
schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. Cutting-edge medicine, such as genetic diagnosis, genetic therapy and organ transplantation are
becoming major foci in the 21st century and the psychological problems arising in these areas are growing sequentially.
The 13th
Tokyo Institute of Psychiatry International Symposium was held in Tokyo, Japan on 29-30 September 1998 to discuss all areas of liaison
psychiatry: the problem of intrafamilial conflict arising over the donor-recipient relationship; the psychiatric problems of HIV infection;
and psychological and ethical issues in genetic testing, to name just a few.
It is barely 20 years since liaison psychiatry has been
established as a field of psychiatry. However the demand is expected to increase hereafter, based on the relationship between somatic
medicine and psychiatry. It is hoped that this volume will encourage discussions between psychiatrists and researchers about the future
of these areas.
