[One-sided thinking within child psychiatry. The holistic view of the child in the family is in danger to be lost].
From the perspective of contemporary neurobiology, genetics and developmental psychology, the traditional psychiatric diagnostic system DSM-IV is out of date. It is based on a 19th century medical model of disease with an untenable dualistic view of brain, mind and body, a mechanistic concept of causality, and retification of diagnoses. This makes DSM inadequate for the clinical child psychiatrist who needs a holistic view of the child, its family and social environment.
