"Heilpädagogik" is of greater importance in Austria than in other countries: it includes the medical assessment of cerebral and functional disturbances of child behavior but also the mainly pedagogic therapy of the disturbances. In Austria the majority of doctors working in this field are originally paediatricians. A confrontation with child-psychiatry, a mutual exchange of experiences, a comparison of the working methods is aimed at.
In childhood psychotic manifestations are in most cases due to somatic diseases, but may be psychogenic. Abnormal reactions to adventures especially to very abnormal occurances--for instance in families with psychotic members--lead to psychotic symptoms. The appearence of those psychotic manifestations is influenced by the age of the child, by his hysterical, anancastic or austistic character and the pathological features (paranoic or depressive) of the inducing person. Usually hospitalization for diagnostic and therapeutical reasons is necessary. In case of induced psychoses separation must be long enough and has to be combined with treatment of the primary patient.
