title: [Collaboration between child psychiatry and medical genetics. Genetic diseases with an atypical beginning].
abstract: When a children psychiatrist, faced to atypical psychological troubles, comes up against difficulties in establishing a precise diagnosis, he may consider a genetic etiology and ask for a genetic consultation. He may encounter many problems when he suggests this specialized consultation to the parents. These have often been prepared for a long time to the necessity of a psychiatric therapy in order to cure their child's troubles. The geneticist's diagnosis will induce the parents and the psychiatrist to have a different look on the child and mostly will set limits to the possibilities of treatment.
