This paper is a review of the development of child psychiatry, originally from the findings of psycho-analysis. Now the hypothetical reconstructions of psycho-analysis must be examined using the tools of child psychiatry.
The author calls for more recognition and investigation of constitutional factors, and for the difference between functional disorders of adults, and of children, the latter being largely character disorders. He also discusses the assessment of the significance of symptoms.
