Taking “The Way Ahead” Report as a basis for discussion, the author examines one clinical field. Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, from the point of view of Occupational Therapy's future development within this speciality over the next ten years. The aim of clinical excellence in any field is to provide essential and appropriate therapy for that client group, whether in geriatrics, mental handicap, neurology, paediatrics, etc. By presenting the past, present and future development of this one field, the author hopes that this will stimulate discussion regarding planning in all clinical specialities and bases her views on four main areas, the clinical role of the Occupational Therapist, correct staffing and facilities, post registration studies and research.

Event related potentials (ERPs) represent powerful tools to investigate cognitive functioning in child and adolescent psychiatry. So far, the available body of research has largely focused on advancements in analysis methods, with little attention given to the perspective of assessment. The aim of this brief report is to provide recommendations for cognitive ERPs assessment that can be applied across diagnostic categories in child and adolescent psychiatry. First, we discuss major issues for ERPs testing using examples from common psychiatric disorders. We conclude by summing up our recommendations for methodological standards and highlighting the potential role of ERPs in the field.

Multidisciplinary Teamwork

This document, produced by the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Section of the College, is aimed at administrators, trainees considering entering the specialty, and colleagues in other disciplines. Its purpose is to describe the role of child and adolescent psychiatrists today, who work largely as part of a multidisciplinary team and may be based in a hospital or in the community. There is increasing emphasis on community work: assessment, treatment and preventive work is carried out with children and their families in close liaison with mainly non-medical colleagues. Such multidisciplinary teamwork has many advantages, but presents delicate problems in ethics and organization. In what follows ‘child psychiatrist’ will be generally used to mean ‘child and adolescent psychiatrist’.

Potential workloads in child and adolescent psychiatry have led to discussions within the professions about 'who does what' and attempts to redefine the role of doctors. Dr Meena Agarwal, consultant in child and adolescent psychiatry, describes how such a model for working might be translated into adult psychiatry practice. It has implications for all consultants.

Aims and methodTo carry out a survey to ascertain the role of academic clinical fellowship posts within the integrated academic training programme for academic training in child and adolescent psychiatry. Questionnaires were sent to UK academic child psychiatric units.ResultsA total of 18 units returned questionnaires; this identified eight university lecturers and two academic clinical fellows in post.Clinical implicationsIntegrated academic training pathways seem unlikely to contribute substantially to academic training and to maintaining the pool of academic clinicians in child and adolescent psychiatry. It may need reappraising with regard to psychiatric specialties.
