[Challenges and transformation of child psychiatry in France].

Challenges and transformation of child psychiatry in france. French child psychiatry is certainly faced with a demographic crisis which we can only hope to be a moment in its history, but also with multiple changes: the appearance of many sub-disciplines, its clinics and demands from the population, practices, theoretical- clinical references, fields of action of related medical disciplines (adult psychiatry, pediatric neurology, genetics, etc.), and the positions of its educational, pedagogical, social and medico-social network partners... it must therefore evolve, and would benefit from being part of a European and international movement without denying its legacies.
