title: [The role of liaison psychiatry in the framework of chronic disease].
abstract: Liaison psychiatry in paediatrics should not be confined to psychiatric cases. Due to their special skills, psychiatrists can be helpful in the long term care of chronically ill children. The case of cystic fibrosis is cited to show how this disease affects the family; how educating patients (and their parents) about the disease and treatments is essential; how compliance is affected by factors such as family characteristics and psychological characteristics of young patients. Poor compliance is seen as a symptom that can, to a certain extent, be treated by psychological analysis of all the factors involved.
