    Abstract:
    Nowadays, the core problems of psychosocial care of pediatric inpatients are those imposed by the chronically ill child and his family. In Germany, these new and complex problems are supposed to be solved by integrating psychosocial specialists and developing a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach. The first part of this series discusses its problems and pitfalls. To find out their role in the complex network, the new specialists misleadingly may define their task as exclusively devoted to casework. The medical staff may perceive this as a kind of neglect of its town psychosocial competencies. As a consequence, they will become suspicious of the new colleagues, disregarding their potentially, too. Instead of a true cooperation, this may lead to a kind of fragmentation of the professional network.
