Management of child psychiatric disorders typically involves 3 approaches: general treatment issues, specific techniques, and other forms of help. General issues include engaging the child, discussing the problem with parents, and reducing stressors at home and school. Specific techniques can include problem-solving counseling, family therapy, behavior therapy, and dynamic psychotherapy. Other forms of help are special education for academic issues and substitute care for children needing placement outside the home. Inpatient care may be used for severe behaviors, unclear diagnoses, or temporarily separating a child from their family to assess behavior in different environments.
