INTRODUCTION: WHY DO A PSYCHIATRIC
ASSESSMENT?
What is the rationale for choosing to undertake
a psychiatric assessment? Various answers to
this question have been suggested. For instance,
Harrington [1,2] argues that a psychiatric assess-
ment focuses on four key questions:

is a psychiatric disorder present?

what sort of disorder is it?

what other problems are present?

why does the patient have the presenting
problem(s)?
Hoyos [3] takes a more developmental perspec-
tive and contrasts assessment in child psychiatry
with assessment of psychiatric disorders in adults,
arguing that understanding child development
is critical when assessing children as normative
behaviour changes with developmental age.
Scott [4] argues that making a correct diagnosis
requires applying a body of knowledge based
on extensive research. The American Academy
of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP)
Practice Parameters and Guidelines [5] say that
the psychiatrist needs to prioritize symptoms and
diagnoses so that a reasonable treatment plan can
address multiple problems.
As we illustrate below, all of these rationales
emphasize important aspects of the psychiatric
diagnostic process. In a busy, multidisciplinary,
generic child mental health service, an additional
question might be posed concerning which chil-
dren need to be assessed by a child psychiatrist.

Given the pragmatics of time and availability, when
is it important to apply the specific additional
skills utilized in psychiatric diagnoses? We would
suggest that psychiatric assessments be undertaken
when the following questions are pertinent:
