title: [Consultation, pedagogy and therapy].
abstract: In child psychiatry the discrepancey between the diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities can often be disappointing, and thus, especially the young people involved demand education in approved psychotherapeutic techniques. This seems to be more important than education in common diagnosis and consultation, but the term psychotherapy is much too restricted and its possibilities not as practical as assumed. On the other hand the importance and possibilities of parental consultation and of orthoeducation is underestimated as an aid in decisions envolving changing the environment. Classical psychotherapy and family therapy have to be restricted to severe child neuroses - mostly for financial reasons - although the knowledge thereof in addition to clinical experience and routine is important. Training in these therapeutic techniques thus can not be the main goal in education in child psychiatry. Experience in diagnosing, consulting and pedagogy make effective aid possible and are available to more children and families.
