[Childhood difficulties: representations by the family and caregivers; value of interviews].

This investigation was conducted in 7 consultation centers in child psychiatry of the Lyon region (France). The aim was to evaluate the influence of the care professional's response to the demands of the consulting party, on the evolution of the child. The investigation is based on what is said about the difficulties of the child, as manifested in the way care professionals, parents and children perceive them. Relevant instruments and a reliable methodology are used in assessing these various parameters. Results indicate that what happens in the first interview might be more important than the effective type of intervention in determining the evolution of the subsequent intervention.

[Quality of life assessment in therapeutic trials. Conceptual aspects and presentation of a questionnaire].

The importance of assessing the quality of life is more and more emphasized when therapeutic effects are to be studied. However, if its theoretical bases appeared as rather well established, they are not yet effectively translated into the presently available instruments: there is not yet any "gold exchange standard" in this field. This fact is the result of the difficulty of this translation and of the medical tendency to reduce the assessment of the quality of life to the assessment of the health. The second part of this paper is thus devoted to the presentation of a new instrument ("PQVS" in french, or "QLPI" for "Quality of Life Profile Inventory"). It was devised for applying the theoretical bases of the study of the quality of life. It thus allows for the assessment: 1) of the quality of the global life, 2) of the quality of what is experienced in several dimensions of the life, and 3) of the individual structure of the quality of life.
