title: Changing environment for the care of children.
abstract: A review is provided of developments in child-care services; insurance coverage; use of "non-traditional" sites for medical care; and wanted and unwanted childbearing, with consequences for society in general and for women and their families in particular. Dynamics of parent-child interactions are an important concern in the development of provider-patient and provider-parent relationships.
