[Inpatient and partial hospitalization facilities for child and adolescent psychiatry in the unified Germany, 1991].

First results of the project "Surveys regarding the structure of psychiatric institutions for children and adolescents in the Federal Republic of Germany" are described. On July 1, 1991 there were 111 in-patient institutions with a total capacity for 6363 children and youths. The contributing shares of each state (Bundesland) vary enormously. The number of accommodations per 100,000 residents is between 2.1 and 19. One reason for this discrepancy lies in the fact that the services of the institutions are called upon without regard to the state borders. More important though is the fact that in the new states the psychiatric institutions for children and youths also treat young patients who are psychologically or mentally handicapped with neuropsychiatric complications to a greater extent than comparable institutions in the old states.

[Child and adolescent psychiatry--how, where, for whom? Questions on medical care and medical care research].

Regarding the question of child psychiatry--how, where, for whom? research of medical care can provide some answers, which are referred to here. However, many questions regarding epidemiology and research of structure, use and development remain open. Because of constant urgency to take action provisional situations have to be accepted, processes have to be attended to, statements have to be examined concerning their validity and theories concerning their range.

Adolescent

[Collaboration of the involved psychosocial systems in the management of children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders].

Described and discussed here are the concrete need for professional help for children and juveniles with psychological problems as well as support systems and their institutions. The necessity of cooperation between systems and institutions is explained, and the obstacles to and problems involved in such cooperation are outlined. The attitudes toward cooperation held by professionals and the expectations and views of those in need of help are compared.
