| Sumario: | This book offers an overview of child psychiatry written from the viewpoint of a clinical child psychiatrist, based on the author's experience in child guidance and child psychiatric clinics, and teaching contacts with social work students in both clinical settings and University seminars. The idea is to 'take the lid off child psychiatry' and view it as far as possible as a whole, from the outside looking in. There are linkages between different schools of thought in regard to normal and abnormal child development, clinical picture and treatment, while dealing in some detail with those derived from psychoanalysis but addressing those based on learning theory. The text examines how questions need to be asked about the origins of the symptoms or behavior which the child shows, or which families show, the factors which perpetuated it in the past and those which are keeping it going. Thus we look at the child's early life, the family situation past and present, the school situation. It is necessary to distinguish between those factors which are immutable (mainly organic and constitutional), and those which can be changed or ameliorated (mainly developmental and environmental). Hopefully social work students and current social workers with different orientations will read this book and apply the material to their own needs and experience. |
