PURPOSE OF REVIEW
Palliative care (PC) psychiatry is a growing subspecialty focusing on improving the mental health of those with serious medical conditions and their caregivers. This review elucidates the current practice and ongoing evolution of PC psychiatry.
RECENT FINDINGS
PC psychiatry leverages training and clinical practices from both PC and psychiatry, addressing a wide range of needs, including enhanced psychiatric care for patients with serious medical illness, PC access for patients with medical needs in psychiatric settings, and PC-informed psychiatric approaches for individuals with treatment-refractory serious mental illness. PC psychiatry is practiced by a diverse workforce comprising hospice and palliative medicine-trained psychiatrists, psycho-oncologists, geriatric psychiatrists, other mental health professionals, and non-psychiatrist PC clinicians. As a result, PC psychiatry faces challenges in defining its operational scope. The manuscript outlines the growth, current state, and prospects of PC psychiatry. It examines its roles across various healthcare settings, including medical, integrated care, and psychiatric environments, highlighting the unique challenges and opportunities in each. PC psychiatry is a vibrant and growing subspecialty of psychiatry that must be operationalized to continue its developmental trajectory. There is a need for a distinct professional identity for PC psychiatry, strategies to navigate administrative and regulatory hurdles, and greater support for novel clinical, educational, and research initiatives.

This perspective piece reviews the current training pathways for pediatric consultation-liaison psychiatry. Significant workforce shortages of child and adolescent psychiatry over the past 3 decades have led to the creation of new training pathways between pediatrics and child and adolescent psychiatry training programs to care for children whose medical and psychiatric management has become increasingly complex. There are now several options available to receive excellent training in pediatric consultation-liaison. Efforts to foster continued interactions and shared education between adult and pediatric consultation-liaison providers are likely to be beneficial to both disciplines given the astonishing advances in technology over the years that have allowed many patients with complex childhood medical disorders to survive into adulthood today.

Resistance to treatment in psychiatry can arise from a variety of causes, and here we look at two strategies that can improve this problem. First, we discuss the role of patients' relatives; in addition to family therapy interventions, setting up groups of relatives makes it possible to increase their skills in helping their sick relative and to help each other in this process. And finally, we look at the option of interventional psychiatry. These methods, which have been greatly enriched in recent years, are now available in the interventional psychiatry unit recently opened in the new Cery psychiatric hospital in Lausanne.

Review
BACKGROUND
The Italian anti-institutional psychiatric movement is closely associated with the name of F. Basaglia, whom Szasz in his 188-page essay on antipsychiatry labels a 'real phony' (in similar terms to others considered antipsychiatrists such as D. Cooper, R. Laing, E. Goffman and M. Foucault). Specifically, Szasz says of Basaglia and his work in psychiatry that it's a 'prevarication-illusion about the end of asylum psychiatry in Italy'.
AIM/OBJECTIVE
The aim of this paper is to determine whether Szasz's assessments were reliably based on scholarly knowledge of Basaglia's psychiatric work, or can better be attributed to Szasz's misrepresentation of his Italian colleague.
METHODS
In considering this question, the paper is timely but, more importantly, it is also unique in considering Basaglia and Szasz together. It is beyond the scope of this article to examine Basaglia's career in detail, and references to it will be made only to clarify Szasz's assertions regarding Basaglia.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
As I will show here, Szasz misconstrued the Basaglian project for a new kind of psychiatry, and for the transformation and closure of the old asylum system. This erroneous view of Basaglia by Szasz is partly associated with his idea that Basaglia and other antipsychiatrists were supported by the modern socialist-therapeutic State.

Review
BACKGROUND
Although forensic psychiatry is recognised as a full medical speciality in the UK, training in it is not routinely offered to medical students. With growth both in forensic psychiatry and availability of medical school places, it is a good time to explore the nature and quality of experience already available.
AIMS
1. To map the literature against the guideline for reporting evidence-based practice educational interventions and teaching checklist. 2. To critically review research and scholarship. 3. To identify gaps in evidence-based education for medical students in forensic psychiatry.
METHOD
A systematic search of three bibliographic databases from inception to December 2021 was undertaken using keywords related to medical students and forensic psychiatry between December 2021 and March 2022. The search was supplemented by citation and hand searching.
RESULTS
Eight articles were identified. Collectively, they suggest that education and teaching were implemented at a local level and not linked to theories of learning. Exposure to forensic psychiatry stimulated positive attitudes, which amplified interest in psychiatry. There was insufficient evidence to determine optimal undergraduate education and teaching practice in forensic psychiatry.
CONCLUSIONS
Forensic psychiatry appears to have much to offer the medical undergraduate as part of core learning in psychiatry, including universal skills and knowledge such as ethical decision-making and handling emotions. There appears to be considerable opportunity for education, teaching and research innovation in undergraduate education and teaching in forensic psychiatry. Interesting areas for development include simulated and coproduced education.
