title: [Status of child psychiatry].
abstract: This paper is a revision of the present situation of child psychiatry showing its confluence with general psychiatry through the epistemological unification as a biopsycho-social model. The psychopathological limitations of this process as empiricism are taken into account as well as its identity, which did not really exist till now. At the same time this identity supposes an orientation for the clinical, teaching and research action.
