School consultation: evolving issues.
Schools are currently facing (1) increasing demands for special services, (2) parents' expectations for academic achievement, (3) budget constraints, (4) an older faculty, and (5) a broadening mandate to nurture young children and prevent self-destructive behavior in adolescence. Whether as consultants or caring for individual children, child psychiatrists should consider these evolving issues in their work with parents and schools.
