Catchers in the rye.

There is a great need for more research in child and adolescent psychiatry, and this must be clinically, as well as laboratory, based. There are, however, much data already available on alcohol and handguns that, if used, could substantially decrease morbidity and mortality rates for adolescents.

Child psychiatry program directors' ratings of residency experiences.

Child and adolescent psychiatry program directors' (PDs) were asked to complete survey forms to rate the importance of required residency experiences and express views on length of training. There was a 93% return rate of questionnaires sent to the 129 academic programs represented in the Society of Professors of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The majority of PDs favor the status quo and do not want to add or subtract from the present requirements. Experiences most favored were those with older children, adolescents, and parents, and those in the use of psychopharmacology. Least favored experiences were with cognitive therapy, research, psychological testing, and teaching. There was little interest in eliminating the internship year or residency time with adults.

Psychodynamics and medication.

In many training programs and for many practitioners there is conflict between the importance and use of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Some of the historical, political, interpersonal, and intrapersonal roots of the problem are summarized in the hope that understanding and self-scrutiny will help break down the splitting that remains all too common.

How do children and funerals mix?

Although no specific post-funeral syndrome seems to exist, many, if not most, children under the age of six or seven seem not benefited psychologically by attending a funeral. Although some young children can tolerate funerals well if sensitively supported by their parents, the fact is that such support is more often absent than present. One useful indicator of the parents' ability to make the funeral experience a positive one is whether or not the child wishes to attend. A child, no matter how young, who feels secure in attending should usually do so. Conversely, a child who refuses or is steadfastly reluctant to attend a funeral is usually perceiving accurately his parents' inability in their own mourning to provide him with adequate support for this emotionally charged endeavor.
