CL-psychiatrists have to work under severe time pressure in acute care setting. Hence, it is necessary to have an armamentarium of screening tools for disorders most frequently met in the general hospital. This presentation will discuss such tools for delirium, alcohol abuse, depression, personality disorders (“how to manage difficult patients”), attachment styles. On a conceptual level, the so-called “situational approach” in cl-psychiatry will be discussed.
