Children today find themselves faced with a new level of adult demands coming from the many professions—medical, legal and educational—called on to intervene as soon as children show signs of behavioral problems.
In addition, the media’s constant dissemination of new discourses about the needs of children presents new challenges for the clinician working with them and their families. This round table will discuss and address some of those challenges.
