- Abstract
Background: A closer collaboration between psychiatry and palliative medicine is increasingly being discussed. This raises the question in which areas this collaboration already exists and which benefits it has for patient care. Objective: To ethically analyze the results of the application of palliative care concepts in psychiatry. Material and methods: Empirically informed conceptual and ethical analysis. Results: Palliative care and psychiatry share several basic principles. A collaboration between these disciplines already exists in certain areas. In relation to patients with persistent severe mental illnesses, this collaboration is limited to an awareness among professionals of certain concepts of palliative medicine. Conclusion: A collaboration between psychiatry and palliative medicine can improve the quality of care, although this must vary across different patient groups.
