In 1981, the document Secure Facilities for Psychiatric Patients, a report of a Special Committee of Council of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, was published. Paragraph 12 of this document read as follows.The College has been concerned to review the need for secure treatment facilities for all groups. Adolescents have been excluded from most proposals for secure units, but some believe that there is need for special units for them. The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Specialist Section has been asked to examine this question in detail and lo report independently.

The aim of this paper is to continue a dialogue regarding the possible future use of log-books during training. The Royal College of Psychiatrists has been considering their use at various stages of training in psychiatry. Cole & Scott (1991) rejected log-books as a tool for self-audit during registrar training because they were often not kept up to date. The situation in higher professional training is more complex; there is not the clear focus of studying for the Membership examination and there are many more training components to cover during a four year period. Thus, we feel that a system for self-audit and monitoring could well prove valuable at the senior registrar level. There is a tension for senior registrars with whom we discussed this issue at the last Annual Meeting of the Section and among colleagues on our rotation.

SYNOPSISGreat advances have been made during the last 20 years in the development of structured and semi-structured interviews for use with psychiatric patients. However, in the field of child and adolescent psychiatry there have been weaknesses in the specification and definition of both symptoms and the psychosocial impairments resulting from psychiatric disorder. Furthermore, most of the available interviews for use with children have been tied to a single diagnostic system (DSM-III, DSM-III-R, or ICD-9). This has meant that symptom coverage has been limited and nosological comparisons have been inhibited. The Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Assessment (CAPA) represents an attempt to remedy some of these shortcomings. This paper outlines the principles adopted in the CAPA to improve the standardization, reliability and meaningfulness of symptom and diagnostic ratings. The CAPA is an interviewer-based diagnostic interview with versions for use with children and their parents, focused on symptoms occurring during the preceding 3 month period, adapted for assessments in both clinical and epidemiological research.

Part Time

The rise in the proportion of female medical graduates has led to an examination of the alternatives to full-time continuous postgraduate training. Part-time training has become more common, particularly in psychiatry and non-acute specialties. The means of establishing this type of training have been described in detail (Royal College of Psychiatrists, 1987) and the training requirements are discussed in the JCHPT Handbook. However, when part-time training is written about it is presented as a daunting process, fraught with concerns about a less than optimum training and practical difficulties. The survey by Ann Gath (1988) of supernumerary senior registrars in child and adolescent psychiatry detailed problems such as prejudice, a sense of exploitation, and lack of support and advice. These issues are clearly of great importance to those considering this option but there is also a more positive and optimistic view of part-time training which seems of particular relevance to child psychiatry. At the time of writing I am nearing the end of my higher training on the PM 79(3) scheme and am in a position to describe some of these more positive aspects.

It is an expectation of the Royal College of Psychiatrists that its members should demonstrate a knowledge of the psychiatry of childhood and adolescence. Prospective members are examined on this and a clinical placement in child and adolescent psychiatry is a recognised specialty component of general training. That this is so reflects the fact that one quarter of the population is composed of individuals under the age of 18. This group has an appreciable psychological morbidity rate with patterns of psychological disability and suffering which differ appreciably from those encountered in general adult practice. A competent general psychiatrist should be familiar with the pattern of psychiatric pathology is childhood and be conversant with the services available for its treatment. For the health of the psychiatric profession as a whole, it is important that trainees have some working experience of child and adolescent psychiatry so that they may find whether this area of practice is attractive to them. Experience at registrar level provides an important recruitment opportunity for future senior registrars and thus consultants in child and adolescent psychiatry. Successful completion of general training in psychiatry with possession of membership of the Royal College of Psychiatrists is effectively a universal prerequisite for entering the senior registrar grade and higher training in child and adolescent psychiatry.

History Of

This essay discusses the position of child psychiatry as a subspecialty in Canada today. Proceeding from a review of a paper written by Dr. Quentin Rae-Grant in 1970 “Adult and Child Psychiatry — One or Two Nations?” the author, using the concept of a nation as a metaphor, explores the evolution of child psychiatry as a subspecialty in Canada. The history of child psychiatry in Canada is reviewed briefly; from its early beginnings to an increased understanding of its uniqueness as a subspecialty, finally through to the formation of the Canadian Academy of Child Psychiatry in 1980. The essay stresses the mutuality of our dependence on the Canadian Psychiatric Association. The author emphasizes our mutual dependence on the greater organizational body of psychiatrists, and encourages a greater participation of child psychiatrists within the Canadian Psychiatric Association. The author also emphasizes the need to have a closer relationship with the Canadian Paediatric Society. In addition, the author discusses in some detail the more complex and controversial relationship between child psychiatry and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Finally the author emphasizes the importance of a close working relationship with the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. All of these relationships are emphasized in terms of mutual dependence.

During the course of the year, the Section has held two major meetings. The first, held in March at the Royal College of Physicians, was devoted to the considerations of Longitudinal Studies, a topic particularly relevant to those working with developing individuals. The second meeting, a residential one spread over three days, was held in Southampton, and the 1982 meeting will be in Edinburgh. Since 1981 was the year dedicated to disabled people, there was a special emphasis on children handicapped by mental retardation or by physical disorders.
