Child Psychiatrists

Careers in psychiatry which commence straight after house jobs are now commonplace and an informal tradition by which future child psychiatrists worked in paediatrics before training in psychiatry is nowadays less rehearsed. Recently, one of the St George's psychiatric registrar rotations arranged a six month post as a community child health doctor (community clinical medical officer) for a psychiatric registrar (JD) who had expressed an interest in child psychiatry as a career but lacked experience in paediatrics.

The Uk

When Philip Graham takes up the Chair of the Association next June, it will be his second term in an office he originally held in 1982. Although he would modestly deny it, he is not only one of the UK's leading child and adolescent psychiatrists, but also widely respected internationally. Outside this country his reputation is particularly strong in Europe where he was President of the European Society for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry from 1987 to 1991. His appointment to the Foundation Chair of Child Psychiatry at the Institute of Child Health in 1975 marked the establishment of the second such chair in the UK. The esteem in which he was held there led to his appointment as Dean of the Institute from 1985 to 1990. On retirement in 1994 he was elected to the Chair of the National Children's Bureau, reflecting his broad perspective on the welfare of children.

The Way

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.

Generic Quality

In this paper the ethical concept of competence is explored in the context of a very challenging child psychiatry case. Both mental disorder and immaturity may impair a child's competence. However, It is emphasised that competence Is not a generic quality but one that should be applied to specific decisions, even when working with children.

Child Psychiatrists

Objective: To ascertain the experience, knowledge and attitudes of Australian and New Zealand child psychiatrists in relation to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in the young in order to determine whether they would be willing and able to provide an opinion if consulted about children or adolescents in whom ECT is proposed. Method: A 28-item questionnaire was posted to all members of the Faculty of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry living in Australia or New Zealand. Results: Eighty-three percent (n = 206) answered the questionnaire. Forty percent rated their knowledge about ECT in the young as nil or negligible. Having had patients treated with ECT was the best predictor of possessing some knowledge. Thirty-nine percent believed that ECT was unsafe in children compared to 17% for adolescents and 3% for adults. Almost all (92%) respondents believed child psychiatrists should be consulted in all cases of persons under 19 in whom ECT was recommended. The vast majority believed the Faculty or College should have guidelines relating to ECT use in this group and that it would be useful to have a national register of young persons treated with ECT. Conclusions: Child and adolescent psychiatrists wish to be involved in the process of ECT treatment in young people. At the same time, there are gaps in their knowledge. This will need to be remedied, particularly if formal guidelines advocating their involvement are introduced.

In Thailand, we have only two programmes for residency training in psychiatry: one is general or adult psychiatry, which takes 3 years to complete; the other is child and adolescent psychiatry, which takes 4 years. There are nine institutes that offer residency training but only three medical schools have the capacity to offer training in both general and child psychiatry (Table 1).

Formed Part

There has been a child psychiatry research group within the Institute of Psychiatry since 1952. At first it constituted a section of the Department of Psychiatry and for a while it formed part of the MRC Social Psychiatry Research Unit. However, in 1973 London University established a Chair of Child Psychiatry and since that time there has been a separate Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The research in this field undertaken up to 1967 has been described previously (Rutter, 1968a) and the present report brings the account up to date with a summary of work carried out during the last eight years.

Age Structures

Computerisation of case records has been slow to take place in child psychiatry, partly because of the amount of detailed and sometimes complex information required. A program for storing case records has been developed and it has proved of great value in epidemiological work, for example, regarding patient age structures and family compositions.
