Common Problems

The editorial plea for "truly competent counselling in mental hygiene" by practitioners (Pediatrics, 24:355, 1959) based on greater emphasis of this aspect of resident training is well-made. Certainly, most practicing pediatricians, including myself, feel a tremendous inadequacy in offering advice relative to management of such common problems as thumbsucking, masturbation, sleep disorders, feeding problems, and the like. Even for those physicians who are sufficiently interested in practicing preventive psychiatry, the material available for study on these common disorders is full of conjecture, speculation and personal impressions.

Therapeutic Considerations

This study provides a detailed account of the nature of referral problems found in a consecutive series of 90 cases admitted to a psychiatric preschool treatment program. The characteristics of the sample, including age, sex, and ordinal position of the children are described. The type of presenting problems and such features of the child as speech and language function and intelligence are included as well. The characteristics of the parents are also included, such as their social class and their marital and psychiatric status. These results are understood in the context of a developmental-interactional frame of reference, such that four categories of problems can be identified: 1) those children with organic/constitutional difficulties; 2) those children with mild developmental difficulties that put them in conflict with their parents’ or teachers’ expectations; 3) those children whose problems are reactive to family conflict and marriage breakdown; and 4) those marginally coping parents who decompensate when their preschooler reactivates unresolved internal conflicts of their own, which are then projected onto the child who becomes the identified patient. The nature and details of the treatment program are described with particular reference to the four categories of problems identified. The unique advantage of a program such as this, and the difficulties providing service and continuity of care for these children and families are highlighted. The importance of an integrated and comprehensive approach which coordinates the educational, social and psychiatric services is emphasized if preventive psychiatry is to retain its meaning and fulfill its mandate.

At Risk Mental State

SummaryExpansion of early intervention services to identify and clinically manage at-risk mental state for psychosis has been recently commissioned by NHS England. Although this is a welcome development for preventive psychiatry, further clarity is required on thresholds for definition of such risk states and their ability to predict subsequent outcomes. Intervention studies for these risk states have demonstrated that a variety of interventions, including those with fewer adverse effects than antipsychotic medication, may potentially be effective but they should be interpreted with caution.
