This essay discusses the position of child psychiatry as a subspecialty in Canada today. Proceeding from a review of a paper written by Dr. Quentin Rae-Grant in 1970 "Adult and Child Psychiatry--One or Two Nations?" the author, using the concept of a nation as a metaphor, explores the evolution of child psychiatry as a subspecialty in Canada. The history of child psychiatry in Canada is reviewed briefly; from its early beginnings to an increased understanding of its uniqueness as a subspecialty, finally through to the formation of the Canadian Academy of Child Psychiatry in 1980. The essay stresses the mutuality of our dependence on the Canadian Psychiatric Association. The author emphasizes our mutual dependence on the greater organizational body of psychiatrists, and encourages a greater participation of child psychiatrists within the Canadian Psychiatric Association. The author also emphasizes the need to have a closer relationship with the Canadian Paediatric Society. In addition, the author discusses in some detail the more complex and controversial relationship between child psychiatry and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Finally the author emphasizes the importance of a close working relationship with the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. All of these relationships are emphasized in terms of mutual dependence.
