Child 2010: Faculty of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry 2010 Annual Meeting
The issues reflected in the vista from child2010 - alienation, persecution, disenfranchisement, subjugation of dissent - will be a reminder of the issues of development "from infancy to whatever!". It will be the task of child2010 to explore the intertwining biopsychosocial influences on that development through keynote addresses, workshops, themed symposia, papers and poster sessions.
