A child psychiatrist's observations on care of the mentally ill in the People's Republic of China.
In April, 1983, I was a member of a delegation from the American Academy of Child Psychiatry invited by the People's Republic of China to visit colleagues and study facilities in the Chinese nation. I toured six cities and visited a considerable number of hospital facilities, schools, and other special settings for youth. The experience was culturally and professionally broadening and I am pleased to share it with readers of The Psychiatric Hospital. Prior to my visit I familiarized myself with the limited literature covering child and general psychiatry in the People's Republic of China. A list of suggested readings appears at the end of this article.
