title: [The role of child psychiatry from viewpoint of adult psychiatry].
abstract: The raison d'etre of child psychiatry is the child's future adulthood. A clinical attitude that focuses on a child's development from this viewpoint is required. Development is understood from such a viewpoint; how a psychiatric disorder of a juvenile progresses to adulthood is described. In other words, an adult's psychiatric disorder reflects insufficient progression during mental development or a latent psychiatric disorder during childhood. The psychiatrist who looks at an adult patient from such viewpoints, would have insight into child psychiatry.
