The function of a consultation liaison service to a spinal injuries unit is described. Within this context, a study was conducted in which sociodemographic and clinical data were collected over a 4 year period for consecutive admissions to the unit. Data are presented for 227 patients admitted during this period. Forty-seven patients were found to have discrete psychiatric disorders (DSM III) which required treatment during the course of their inpatient care. For forty-two of these patients the psychiatric disorder first developed following spinal cord injury.

The main objective of this study was to describe the psychiatric disorders seen in patients presenting for treatment in rural New South Wales. The patients were seen primarily in the community, in both public and private practice, but also in the local base hospital and prison. Seven hundred and seven patients were consecutively examined during the study period. The results of this study were compared with a previous Australia-wide study to identify specific disorders that were more prevalent in rural areas. Alcohol abuse and dependence stood out as being much more prevalent. Life problems such as domestic violence, sexual assault, and incest occurred commonly in women referred for psychiatric assessment. More than ten percent of the study patients were children aged under 17, who had similar prevalence rates of the various psychiatric disorders to a national comparison. It is concluded that alcohol abuse is very common in rural New South Wales, particularly in men, although there are also high rates in women, and this is probably related, in part at least, to the high rates of domestic violence, sexual assault and incest. It appears probable that there is a cycle of alcohol abuse in men leading to domestic violence and sexual abuse in women and children. This may contribute to the latter becoming anxious and depressed. The rates of the major functional psychiatric disorders were similar to those seen nationally. There is a great need for the maldistribution of psychiatrists between metropolitan and rural areas to be addressed.

This is a description of the psychiatric services at present provided to the Far West Region of New South Wales. On account of the isolation of the region, and noting that the area probably has a higher than normal rate of psychiatric and psycho-social morbidity, there are special problems involved in the provision of comprehensive treatment services. I am the only resident psychiatrist within the region, and work as both a Visiting Medical Officer to the Broken Hill Base Hospital, to Wilcannia Hospital, and to the Prison Medical Service, as well as half time in private practice. The Mental Health Services to the area are at present being considerably expanded, and in this paper their structure and function will be described, and the special problems of providing a comprehensive service to an isolated area of the bush will be discussed. The inequity of service allocation to the region will be highlighted. It is noted that the region's total share of the financial mental health cake has dropped by about 40% in the last ten years as a result of the setting up of local community services and dramatically reduced in-patient hospitalisation costs in Sydney and Adelaide.

A community postal survey of minor psychiatric morbidity among Chinese women living in Dunedin was conducted. The 28-item version of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) was used as the case identification instrument. The overall rate of psychiatric morbidity of Dunedin Chinese women did not differ from their European counterparts. The sociodemographic factors found to be associated with minor psychiatric morbidity included having no children, and being either very well or very poorly educated. Among (foreign born) migrants, those who were born in China, whose reason for migration was "follow the lead of their family" or "family reunion", had resided in New Zealand for ten years or more and spoke English infrequently tended to have higher psychiatric morbidity.
