title: [Changes in diagnostic and therapeutic viewpoints: biological psychiatry aspects].
abstract: The beginnings of child als adolescent psychiatry were dominated by biological thinking. Due to its unidirectionality it was bound to fail. Instead, psychological and social conditions for the development of psychic disturbances gained recognition and preference. Child and adolescent psychiatry presently favours a synthesis of all conditions, including the biological ones. Early infantile autism is taken as an example for a change of views towards a primary biological causation, with all consequences for diagnosis and treatment. Change in child and adolescent psychiatry means development and synthesis of all components.
