ABSTRACT
Psychiatry can be involved in many of the clinical problems which present in neurological rehabilitation. There are sections elsewhere in this book on unexplained physical syndromes, somatisation and abnormal illness behaviour (Chapters 24 and 33), chronic pain (Chapter 19), behaviour problems (Chapter 31) and sexual dysfunction (Chapter 22). Each of these clinical problems merits psychiatric input into what should be a multidisciplinary approach to assessment and treatment. This chapter will concentrate on problems that have a major emotional component and for which psychiatric help is often requested. They fall into five main groups.
