Since 1994, child and adolescent psychiatry has been a distinct specialty, separate from psychiatry, within the Union of European Medical Specialists (UEMS). It has a slightly curious title, of which more later. It has proved a successful arena for promoting training, and this in turn has led to a developing European view of what exactly child and adolescent psychiatry is, and how it can be practised. This article tries to reflect this.
