3. RATIONALE
Child Psychiatry is the most underserved medical
specialty.
Most rural areas in the US (and Virginia) are
without, or underserved for child psychiatric
services.
Many urban areas also lack sufficient services.
Complicated diagnostic and medication issues can
stress primary care providers (Family Practice,
Pediatrics).
Long commutes to treatment sites are costly and
lead to school absences

7. Working With Children Via
Telepsychiatry
Office Environment
Telemedicine office should look like a typical therapy
office
Treatment site should be large enough for parents and
staff to sit comfortably
Therapist should appear on screen like a newscaster
Building Rapport
Wave to child on greeting and ending
Perhaps zooming camera out to allow child to see more
of the office
Slightly exaggerate gestures (but donโt move too fast)
Look directly at camera occasionally to approximate
eye contact
8. Working With Children Via
Telepsychiatry
Conduct of interview
Guardian must be present
Be sure supporting documents and records are
available
Ask initially if patient and parent are seeing and hearing
you well
Speak deliberately and with some animation
Often it helps to let the parent of a younger child take
the lead initially
But, keep the child involved periodically
Try to talk to adolescents and most children alone if
possible
The standard psychiatric interview techniques work !
Encourage children and adolescents to ask questions
