At the meeting of the Child Development Section of the Academy of Pediatrics in October 1968, one of the physicians asked why medical schools and pediatric departments failed to prepare pediatricians for the private practice of their specialty. When I was chief of the department of Children's Hospital in San Francisco, two special exercises were introduced to remedy this deficiency. One of these was a weekly seminar in childhood ecology. It started in July of each year with discussion of fetology, perinatal problems, and the newborn; from there on we "grew up," as it were, with the child during the year, and by June we were discussing the adolescents.

Pediatric Education

IT IS now, 21 years since the American Academy of Pediatrics was founded. It is not inappropriate at this time to call attention to this significant anniversary of our birth. In June 1930, at Detroit, its organization was completed and officers were elected. A year later, the first annual meeting was held in Atlantic City. It was made clear at that time that pediatricians were now convinced that a society was needed whose principal objective would be not solely to promote social and scientific needs of its members, but which would exist primarily to promote child welfare. The means by which this major objective would be gained would be to raise the standards of pediatric education and pediatric research; to encourage better pediatric training in medical schools and hospitals; to promote scientific contributions to pediatric literature; and to relate the private practice of pediatrics to the larger field of the welfare of all children. The society should cooperate with others whose objectives were similar, but would he the democratic forum for pediatric thought and endeavor. Following is a quotation from the constitution adopted at the first meeting: "The object of the Academy shall be to foster and stimulate interest in pediatrics and correlate all aspects of the work for the welfare of children which properly come within the scope of pediatrics. The Academy shall endeavor to accomplish the following purposes: to maintain the highest possible standards of pediatric education in medical schools and hospitals, in pediatric practice, and in research; ... to maintain the dignity and efficiency of pediatric practice in its relationship to public welfare; to promote publications and encourage contributions to medical and scientific literature pertaining to pediatrics."

The term "polypharmacy" is used to describe the excessive use of drug therapy. In 1980, I reviewed the evidence of a continuing epidemic of polypharmacy.1 In 1975, there were 1.7 billion visits per year to physicians in private practice.2 Such visits to a family physician resulted in the prescription of medications to 73% of the patient contacts; in 63% of the patient visits, medications were suggested by a pediatrician. Do two thirds of our patients require medication when seen in an ambulatory setting? Pediatric hospitals did not fare much better. Of 993 patients admitted to a children's hospital, 36.7% received antibiotics.3 Using strict criteria, these authors concluded that 38% of medical patients received antibiotics inappropriately and 78% of the surgical patients did not require antibiotics.

In this essay, Winnicott expresses his opinion that it would be a tragedy if private practice in child psychiatry were to disappear in the face of public health clinics. Winnicott describes his own contribution to the field of child psychology through his work at Paddington Green Children’s Hospital and states his belief that private practice provides an economical psychiatric method when compared with ordinary clinic results.

Children’S Hospital

From the very start, the School of San Francisco had close to one thousand students. Some were the children of the Spanish conquerors, but most were sons of Indian nobles. They received elementary instruction in religion and in the rudiments of learning. Later on came Latin and music. Vocational classes for adults, organized after a few years, turned out excellent artists and craftsmen, sculptors and stonecutters, painters and engravers, carpenters, tailors, shoemakers. A children’s hospital was operated in connection with the school.
