Abstract
The organization of the Child Psychiatry Inpatient Unit reflects its dual nature. On the one hand it provides service to severely disturbed children and their families based on the theoretical and practical principles detailed in this book. On the other hand, it provides education and training for child psychiatry fellows, for other students, and for regular staff members. There is an ongoing effort to conduct clinical research. A medical model is followed in that the unit is organized to facilitate assessment of the child and family, diagnosis (in a broad sense), and implementation of a treatment plan. The organization provides for the integration between the service, that is, the treatment, the teaching, and the training.
