Abstract
Psychiatrists are frequently invited to give expert opinions to Courts about children's emotional welfare, their parents' capacity to care for them and issues of placement and access. Previous child abuse/neglect may have been suspected or confirmed or the parents might suffer from psychiatric symptoms. Assessment may be required of parents' mental state with a guide to prognosis, but, in addition, factors in parent–child relationships will be crucial to overall assessments of parenting.
