Abstract
SUMMARY: The introduction into child psychiatry of new methods of treatment, especially behaviour modification, drug medication and conjoint family therapy, calls for a re‐appraisal of traditional methods. Psychotherapy bawd on a psychoanalytic theoretical framework needs to be carefully combined with other approaches so that the needs of individual children and their families can lie met. Some examples of such combined therapy, which itself needs careful evaluation, arc given. Al the present time no appropriate training is available in the United Kingdom for psychotherapists (medical or non‐medical) who wish to gain expertise in a variety of approaches. It is suggested that this is an area which clinical psychologists, who up till recently have broadly contented themselves with a diagnostic role, might well wish to develop as part of their own professional discipline.Keywords
