SUMMARY
Referral patterns over 9 years period from the
Children’s Psyshiatric Department at the University
Hospital in Iceland were analysed on the basis
of 187 referrals. Mean age for girls was 9.0 and
for boys 8.5. The diagnosis of special syndroms,
developmental disorders and behavioral problems
predominated.
Seventy eight children were referred for further
treatment to child psychiatric service following
consultation.
Further research in this field is important and the
need for improving team work and training in
consultative work in child psychiatry is of vital
importance in Iceland.
