Consultation-Liaison in Child Psychiatry: Continuity and Change in the Past Decade

  • Chapter
  • 55 Accesses

Abstract

An analytical study of developments in child psychiatric consultation in the 1980s must take into account change in the knowledge base of child psychiatric, including psychopathology and expectable develpoments in infants, children, and adolescents, and the changing social, economic, political, and professional contexts in which consultation takes place. Because consultation-liaison work is often at the furthest reach of applications of new research, changes in practice often occur slowly. Conversely, interdisciplinary interaction and cross-fertilization between child psychiatry and pediatrics is a stimulus for change and often provides new models for assessment and treatment. Since child psychiatrists are rarely the sole providers of professional care for a child and family, all types of clinical practice are, in effect, consultative, in nature. The explicitness and design of the consultative relationship, whether planful or unwitting, will be examined in relation to changes on both sides of the professional interchange.
