Child Psychiatric Clinic, Singapore.

Psychiatric problems are common in children with physical illness. The child psychiatrist can play a useful role in consultation, treatment and prevention of psychological problems in paediatrics. In addition, the child psychiatrist can contribute to staff support and education and research. Difficulties in liaison work are due mainly to differences in professional emphasis, deficits in communication and the stigma that is invariably linked to psychiatry.
