I would like to rise in defense of my colleague, Dr. Brazelton, and of his Letter to the Editor1 which stimulated the Editor's answer, the criticisms of Dr. John P. Fields2 and the presentation of the House Officers1 views by Drs. Lovejoy, Hollister, and Mclnerney.3 Perhaps not known to Dr. Field but known to those of us associated with Harvard Medical School and the Children's Hospital Medical Center of Boston, there is little if any formal instruction in psychology at the medical school level or formal psychiatry and psychology at the pediatric training level.

Charles A. Janeway, Thomas Morgan Rotch Jr. Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School, was honored by Janeway Day, May 12, 1976, at the Children's Hospital Medical Center, Boston. The Blackfan Lecture, that day, was delivered by Dr. Janeway's close international friend, Professor Bo Vahlquist, and is published elsewhere in this issue. As a small tribute to a great leader in American pediatrics who continues an active career in retirement, we are pleased to publish commentaries on various but not all portions of "Charlie's" many careers. The more remarkable, in that they were all carried out at the same time!

In the past 2 years a new national organization, called the American Association for Child Care in Hospitals, has evolved. This organization was initiated by the six "play ladies" who are in charge of the children's hospital programs in Baltimore, Boston, Cleveland, Montreal, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. Two years ago, the Children's Hospital Medical Center (CHMC) in Boston was host to 50 participants from these institutions to found the organization. This initial meeting was abetted by the CHMC's concern for total patient care and was made possible by the backing of the administration and the pediatric and psychiatric departments.

This report comprises concurrent studies of the urologic and psychiatric manifestations of intrapsychic conflict among a group of children who had been admitted to the surgical wards of The Children's Hospital Medical Center, Boston, between 1965 to 1970 for complaints of disordered urination. Experience with these children indicates that anxiety can alter the frequency and disturb the adequacy of voiding to a degree sufficient to dispose the child to urinary tract infection. This effect of anxiety can occur both in the presence or absence of a demonstrable anatomic lesion. It suggests that an assessment of the degree and nature of the child's anxiety should be an integral part of the pediatric urologic examination.

Rumack and Temple in their thoughtful analysis of Lomotil poisoning1 note that narcotic antagonists should be used "as soon as adequate indications exist." From our experience with Lomotil toxicity in the last three years at Children's Hospital Medical Center and with other drugs producing narcotic like effects,2.3 we would like briefly to comment on the indications for the use of the narcotic antagonist, naloxone (Narcan) hydrochloride. Four prominent signs of naloxone efficacy exist: (1) dilatation of constricted pupils; (2) increase in depth and rate of respiratory effort; (3) reversal of hypotension; and (4) correction of an obtunded or comatose state.4

Twenty patients with phenothiazine toxicity admitted to the Children's Hospital Medical Center have been reviewed. In any patient presenting with bizarre neurological symptoms, phenothiazine toxicity should be borne in mind. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) was found to be useful in both diagnosis and treatment. The use of phenothiazines in the treatment of acute nausea and vomiting in childhood is questioned.
