title: [Development of child psychotherapy in Europe].
abstract: The author, by starting from the definitional delimitation of psychotherapy and education, gives a brief description of the history of pedopsychotherapy from early beginnings through to the present time. This particular form of therapy has become varied in both its theories and methods. The present trend of development of pedopsychotherapy is characterized by patient-oriented multidimensional treatment of mental disease rather than classical analysis. An exact separation of education and psychotherapy is presently made for didactical reasons only, but is no longer possible in actual practice.
