University presidents call for restructuring of UCSF Stanford Health Care
The entire July issue of the quarterly journal Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry is comprised of articles authored or co-authored by Stanford researchers and edited by Stanford faculty members James Lock and Hans Steiner.
In an editorial introducing the 132-page issue, Lock and Steiner outline the department's philosophy of care. Broadly speaking, our approach is developmental in concept, interdisciplinary in design and implementation, and practical in terms of desired outcomes. Lock is an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and director of hospital-based services for the Division of Child Psychiatry; Steiner is a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and director of the child psychiatry training program at Stanford.
Articles in the issue, volume 4, number 3, describe specific treatment strategies used in the practice. The first article is a description by Steiner of a developmental approach to children and adolescents with combined medical and psychiatric problems.
The journal, published by SAGE Publications, London, occasionally produces "centre-based issues" such as the one in July focusing on Stanford and Lucile Packard Children's Health Services, Lock said.
