MENENDEZ OSORIO, Federico. Child mental health consultation-liaison in high risk newborn children. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2001, n.80, pp.101-110. ISSN 2340-2733.

The technical and theoretic in the field of Neonatology has caused that many newborn children survive to deseases that were imposible to overcome before now. This progress has meant at the same time that clinical processes and problems emerge requiring new forms of management and new interdisciplinary models of approach to the different parts concerned (babies, parents, staff, and so on). The outcome is that interventions in Child Mental Health are prone to play a very important role in primary afects and interchange processes, and in the effects derived from the presence of the seriously ill babies upon the families, as well as their experiences, their anxieties, their reactions, etc., that will need a working out and a therapeutic support from the mental health area. In this paper we point out our experience in consultation-liaison with the Neonatology Service from our Child Mental Health unit, operating on the newborn as much as on the parents and the team members.
