Popis: A review is given of the experience obtained over 6 years of having a psychiatric consultant available as part of the staff of the Voice Clinic, to which more than a thousand patients have been referred. The presenting features in a case that should alert the otolaryngologist to the need for psychiatric consultation and possible treatment are noted. Suggestions are made as to how to prepare the patient for the referral to a psychiatrist with the appropriate interests and willingness to collaborate closely with the otolaryngologist and the speech pathologist.
