  • Title: Referring to a child psychiatrist.
    Author: England R.
    Journal: Aust Fam Physician; 2004 Dec; 33(12):993-5. PubMed ID: 15630920.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Child psychiatry is a highly specialised practice and many general practitioners are uncertain how to manage a child who might require such intervention. OBJECTIVE: This article provides some guidelines regarding referral and ongoing collaboration, but it is important to remember that each child psychiatrist may have their own style of practice. DISCUSSION: Most child psychiatrists work with the range of childhood ages from primary and secondary school age children through to youth and early adulthood. It is essential that the GP take a medical history and examination before referral. Referral should be specific.
