DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT: PSYCHOSOCIAL ASPECTS OF WELL CHILD CARE

George C. Bolian M.D.1

1 Department of Psychiatry, Division of Child Psychiatry, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle

The practical importance and frequency of well child care in both pediatric and general medical practice has been well established. Employing a model of the child as a bio-psycho-social organism, the author has attempted to outline an approach to this phase of practice, particularly the psycho-social elements. Five goals are discussed: (1) assessment of development; (2) prevention of potential disorder; (3) treatment of early disorder, including six suggested techniques; (4) referral of gross disturbance; and (5) establishment of a meaningful relationship with the child and his family, including several general approaches.
