Abstract
This paper describes a four-component procedure of clinical decision-making, developed by a group of senior child clinicians in an urban child mental health center. The major goal of the paper is to give readers a basic understanding of the theory underlying the formulation of our disposition-oriented clinical decision-making system, that can be eventually translated into questionnaire format, and made useful and usable in general clinical application. The four-component procedure is described in a step-wise fashion and then linked to clinical dispositional options to be chosen from the clinical services available in a clinic. A child mental health data system will ultimately be developed.
