This book offers an overview of child and adolescent psychiatry in Europe, highlighting its historical development, current status, and future outlook. Recognized as a medical specialty in nearly all European countries, child and adolescent psychiatry has seen a significant increase in the number of practitioners over the past decade. However, substantial disparities remain among countries in terms of the number of specialists, the nature of services provided, and their diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Additionally, variations exist in training curricula for this specialty across medical and other professional fields, both in academic settings and beyond, as well as in public perception of the discipline's significance. The book presents reports on the historical and current situations, along with future perspectives of child and adolescent psychiatry in 31 European countries, structured for comparability. This structure includes (1) historical development and current status, (2) classification systems and diagnostic methods, (3) service organization, (4) interdisciplinary cooperation, (5) training and continuing education, (6) research, and (7) future perspectives.
