In the peripheries of excellence, providing a service is the main task. Professor Nichol says that describing a child psychiatry service to managers is easy (Third Section Newsletter). I say it is and it is not. The way he does it follows the traditional bioscientific medical pattern and logic - number and range of cases and diagnoses etc. Health managers at a first glance may be quite happy with this ‘biomedical’-looking picture. But I believe that in their second glance they can tell that these expensive child psychiatrists, who just sit in rooms talking, are not dealing with the same thing as surgeons and physicians.

In 1974 we published a pilot study on the use of consultant time in child psychiatry, based on detailed timesheets kept by a group of child psychiatrists in and near London (1). The group, which is still meeting, decided to see what changes, if any, have occurred over the last seven years in the way we allocate our time. The primary purpose of the group, now, as then, is ‘the provision of a forum where members can exchange views and compare experiences relating to the problems encountered while engaging in and often being professionally responsible for administering a child psychiatric service.’ A nucleus of about six consultants took part in both studies.

In the framework of broad philosophic and historical context the author conducts comparative analysis of the conditions for assimilating liberal values in leading countries of the modern world and in Russia. He defends the idea of inevitable forward movement of Russia on the way of rationalization and cultivation of all aspects of life, but, to his opinion, it will occur not so fast as the "first wave" reformers thought and in other ideological and sociocultural forms than in Europe and America. The author sees the main task of the reformist forces in Russia in consolidation of the society and inplementation of socially responsible economic policy.

The scientific basis for practice in child psychiatry has developed apace. And has thrown up several quandries for an accepted paradigm for good practice anchored to the diagnostic schema developed in adult psychiatry. This paper hopes to stimulate discussion about where alternative paradigms might lead us on a path to precision medicine as applied to child psychiatry.

Chinese child psychiatrists have recognised a need to secure training that represents the most advanced ideas in their field. Turning to senior child psychiatrists in the United States, Dr Jianping Lu worked with them to design a training programme for child psychiatrists in Shenzhen, which then expanded to become a national model. This article details the reasons for the programme, its origins and history, and the outline of the current programme that now reaches child psychiatrists throughout China.

In this contribution to a symposium on the training for child psychiatry—a new specialty in medicine at this time—Winnicott proposes that doctors who have trained in paediatrics and psychoanalysis should also train as child psychiatrists. Becoming an adult psychiatrist who then trains in child psychiatry is not advisable because the trainee doctor will have missed the development of child physical and emotional health during its maturation.

For the Chairman's Address to the Child Psychiatry Section in 1955, Cameron (5) decided to survey the scene of Child Psychiatry. His survey was historical and he described the various influences that have in turn borne on and helped to shape the practice of Child Psychiatry as it is today. Kanner (9), in the Maudsley Lecture of 1958, took the same theme and elaborated on it further. It is significant that they both felt that the time had come to do this for a young speciality and, indeed, their lectures were of considerable interest and use to those of us who have not lived through—in Child Psychiatry—the times described. However, Child Psychiatry has not become static; the scene will continue to change and to enlarge as more new influences come to bear. It seems that we who are engaged in its active practice now, and in the future, have need to watch where we are going; especially, as comparative success has brought some rewards and we foresee the likelihood of further rapid expansion in the speciality, with the need, to recruit more child psychiatrists. Again, the joint or liaison committees that have sprung up with other medical professional bodies are in a sense a recognition of our significance; they are also a responsi bility and may be a test of our loyalty to psychiatry as a whole.

The concept of worldview is quite ambiguous in modern humanities. Philosophers and scholars insist that there is such a spiritual or cognitive basis of each people, person or language, which finds its expression in the way they behave, think, or speak. Current Russian-speaking colleagues hold that there are different levels or types of worldview (such as mythological, religious, and scientific). All this testifies that the term of worldview lacks preciseness either in Russian and in foreign discourse. The main task of the article is to justify the possibility of a different approach to the study of worldview as a special phenomenon. The question can be raised of what exactly we analyze when dealing with worldview. The author is convinced that it would be better to work with the concept of worldview not as “what”, but rather as “how”. In developing his argument, the author focuses on three main aspects of the issue: (1) the accuracy in describing and conceiving worldview as the issue of philosophy; (2) the historical and contemporary examples of the worldview typology; (3) the refutation of such a dichotomy of “science — worldview” and the proposal of an integrated approach to the issue. The alternative way advocated by modern and classical authors is to turn to a more theoretically fruitful method of studying worldviews, that is, to the anthropological perspective.

There is a trend for new consultant posts in child psychiatry to be linked to Social Services Departments. I recently took up such a post, with four of my sessions funded by the local Social Services Department. Training of child psychiatrists for such consultative posts is variable, but I was fortunate to have trained as a senior registrar at the Tavistock Clinic, where one of the training options was a link with Camden Social Services through a placement at Camden Assessment Centre.

The Way

The patterning or microstructure of a situation where subjects were presented with two sets of information from two independent ‘high decision’ information processing tasks, was investigated. Thirty-two subjects worked at the five-choice serial-response task (designated by instructions to be the main task), whilst being presented with a transformation task which required that seven had to be added to a presented auditory digit (designated by instructions to be the secondary task). Results suggested that subjects were not able to process two streams of information in parallel, and that the way in which the attention process was ordered was partly a function of task instructions and partly a function of the random occurrence of each digit in relation to the on-going serial task. Results also gave support to the view that the locus of disruption was the production of the response to the secondary task. Explanations of this effect are considered.

We Have Come a long way from the thirties when Brenneman was writing about "The Menace of Psychiatry"1 and Crothers described the confusion of " The Pediatrician in Search of Mental Hygiene."2 On the surface at least we seem to have come to the opposite pole. A pediatrician sits on the Child Psychiatry Committee of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Most teaching services in pediatrics have at least a consultant in child psychiatry, and many hospitals and medical have divisions and departments of child psychiatry closely allied to pediatrics. In the late fifties Dr. Janeway3 as a member of a panel with Anna Freud, said that whereas 25 years ago the presence of a professor of pediatrics on such a platform lent respectability to psychoanalysis, "it now lends respectability to the pediatrician." When, however, one looks below the surface where child psychiatrists and pediatricians function together, mutual dissatisfaction is not infrequent. Probably the pediatricians have more complaints about the psychiatrists than the other way. A frank and critical look at these complaints reveals that they are consistently related to problems in orientation and in understanding each other. On analysis, their differences usually fall into the following relatively few patterns. TYPES OF DISAGREEMENT AND COMMUNICATION DIFFICULTIES A common complaint concerns the communication system, or better, the lack of communication between psychiatrist and pediatrician. Starting sometimes with the differences of professional language, this often goes on to involve the psychiatrist's confidently stated basic assumptions which the pediatrician may refuse to take for granted, or may flatly disbelieve.
