LIDT OM UDVIKLINGEN AF KLINISK BØRNEPSYKOLOGI I DANMARK

Abstract

It is regretted that clinical child psychology always has been offered less attention than clinical psychology for adults. With her own work experiences as starting point, the author describes parts of the development of three areas of clinical child psychology in Denmark: clinical psychology in the schools, in adolescent psychiatry, and in child guidance clinics. The concept of clinical (child)psychologist is discussed and the work conditions or education necessary to obtain it. The three work areas are shortly com-pared, and wishes are stated for more precise and differentiated treatment possibilities for children in the future.
