In order to explore the condition of child and adolescent patients with psychological problems at a general hospital, we investigated 1940 patients under 18 years of age who were referred to our department of clinical psychology during the period of April 1981 to March 1990,with the following results. Generally speaking, boys outnumbered girls, but recently the difference in number between them has diminished. The patients almost equally ranged from I to 18 years of age. The patients were referred by various departments, such as neuropsychiatry (32.2%), pediatrics (27.6%), urology (12.O%), ophthalmology (8.O%), and so on. The incidence of psychosomatic disorders was the highest and the number of cases with dominant difiiculties and problems was as follows : psychosomatic disorders 348,neurosis 146,retardation of speech development 144,and mental retardation 135. The number of enuresis and autism has decreased, while the number of eating disorders and low birth weight infants increased. An increase of number was not found in school refusal. The role of the department of clinical psychology at a general hospital was discussed. which is considered to maintain cooperation with other departments.
