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.

The study examines the knowledge and views among district social workers of a local child psychiatric service and determines whether their views influence decisions to refer to the service. The results are compared with similar studies of general practitioners (GPs) and paediatricians and discussed with reference to recent national reviews of child psychiatry in the UK.

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.

Objective: To present a practical approach to curriculum design for community-based care in child psychiatry. Method: A design template is presented, steps for a curriculum review are derived from it, and as an example, a small academic division's program is reviewed. Results: The division's curriculum was developed according to the template, resulting in an enhanced focus and improved coverage of topics through a combination of experiential and didactic teaching. Conclusion: The suggested format is considered applicable to child psychiatric training programs of all sizes and offers an opportunity to review or initiate the teaching of community child psychiatry.

Attitudes to childhood in general and towards one's own childhood in particular are compared in a survey of 152 Australian and New Zealand child psychiatric and paediatric trainees. Results confirm the findings of Enzer et al [1] that paediatricians view childhood more positively than do child psychiatrists. Although there is a significant difference between the two groups on measures of their perceptions of the parenting they received with child psychiatrists rating their own parents as less caring than do paediatricians, there is no relationship between attitudes to childhood and perceptions of the parenting they received. Implications of these findings are examined, both in terms of motivation for choosing one or other speciality and for the working relationship between the two professions.

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.

The results of a three-month study of the incidence of child psychiatric consultation requests in three different locations (emergency room, primary care center, and pediatric wards) within a pediatric service in a teaching hospital are reported here. Future trends and roles for child psychiatry and pediatric collaboration are discussed.

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.

AbstractIn the actual context of terrorism targeting children and families, it seems essential to describe different experiences of pediatric psychological emergency devices after such unexpected mass trauma. Here we testify our experience of the psychological emergency care setup dedicated to children and families during the first 48 hours after the terrorist attack of Nice, France, on July 14, 2016. Activated within the hour following the attack, the device included two child psychiatry teams turning over each day, receiving at least 163 individuals (99 children and 64 adults) within the first 2 days.
