title: Pediatric psychology in genitourinary anomalies.
abstract: Children with genitourinary anomalies are at risk for developmental and adjustment challenges. Pediatric psychologists can address the needs of these children within the urology clinic through focusing on assessment, intervention, and prevention of psychosocial problems associated with their urologic diagnosis. Care is optimized if surgeons and mental health providers work together to care for this challenging group of patients.
