[Inpatient therapy in child and adolescent psychiatry--analyses of a inpatient population].

The study deals with 207 inpatients' medical histories at a university clinic for child and adolescent psychiatry. Antisocial behavior, emotional and neurotic as well as psychosomatic disorders were the most frequent disorders to be treated. The inpatients were characterized through a remarkable high rate of psychosocial stress factors in their natural environment. The choice of special interventions and the length of treatment was not related to the diagnosis. The function of an inpatient treatment unit is discussed.
