There is a considerable amount of interest within pediatrics and
pri mary health care that is currently being directed toward the
behavioral and emotional problems of childhood. Traditionally,
these areas have been emphasized by child psychiatrists, child
psychologists, and psy chiatric social workers. Now, however, the
detection and, in some cases, the assessment and treatment of
children with these types of disturb ances fall within the province
of primary child health care profession als. Even when the child
psychiatrist or child psychologist provides the primary mental
health treatment for the child, specialists such as pediatricians,
family physicians, pediatric nurses, pediatric nurse prac
titioners, and speech therapists remain instrumental in support of
the ongoing psychotherapeutic process as providers of some other
aspect of total health care to the child and family. For these
pediatricians, family physicians, and other nonpsychol ogist
primary health care providers, it is essential to acquire an under
standing and effective working knowledge of important psychological
information and concepts to utilize within their own framework and
professional responsibilities. In order that this may be
accomplished, these professionals with limited backgrounds in
psychology must better understand how psychologists themselves
assess children and how they derive the conclusions reflected in
the statements and reports that are shared with members of their
own and other disciplines. In short, nonpsychologists must become
substantially more familiar with psy chological assessment,
particularly with psychological testing and the subsequent
reporting of results."
