✦ Synopsis


The Infant and Preschool Psychiatry Clinic is an outpatient, subspecialty clinic that serves young children with significant emotional and behavioral problems, in addition to disorders of learning and language. The clinic provides for the psychiatric needs of young children, birth to 5 years of age, and their families.

The clinic's evaluation process and wide-ranging treatment services are described in detail, along with two clinical case examples that help to illustrate the integration of varied services. Additionally, a critique of the clinic's strengths and weaknesses is presented.
