Abstract

Weekly sessions with the chief resident in child and adolescent psychiatry provided direct communication between medical and paramedical staff in an adolescent psychiatric unit organized within the adult psychiatric ward of a general hospital. These sessions ameliorated problems arising from identification of the paramedical staff with the adolescents and the staff's reaction to threatened loss of fulfillment at work.
