title: [Current concepts of hospitalization in pediatric psychiatry].
abstract: Although it remains valuable for evaluating the patient and planning pharmacotherapy, hospitalization in a psychiatric department is no longer restricted to these purposes. Hospitalization enables separation of the child or adolescent from his usual environment during periods of acute conflict. It is aimed at modifying and overcoming the conflicts between family members which are underlying in the child's or parent's request for support. Hospitalization can become an essential part of the child's treatment if it is carefully planned and harmonized with the other curative and preventive methods.
