For example, if a child were to progress from long-term to short-term care, his record would probably in clude the following (in order of progress) : 1. began treatment at Murdoch Child Psychiatric Unit 2. progressed to the Umstead Ado lescent Unit at Butner 3. counseled at the Durham Child Guidance Clinic, Inc. 4. enrolled at Wright School 5. entered Duke Hospital for short term hospitalization The director of each of these Con tinuum of Care Units has an appoint ment in the Department of P.sy- chiatry at Duke Medical Center. There are some interesting and rather revealing statistics to be seen in the Child Guidance Clinic’s ‘ ‘ Manual. ’ ’ The latest statistics show that; more boys are counseled at the Clinic than girls; half of the eliildren counseled are from 6 to 12-years old; and the highest number of referrals are “self-referrals.” Dr. Fowler estimates that in the 1964-1965 fiscal year, the Clinic will handle about 440 cases. This will mean approximately 8,000 interviews. An hour interview is usually given every week to the child being coun seled by the Clinic; and, accord ing to routine, for every session the child has with the psychiatrist, the parents have a session with the psy chiatric social worker. All of the several and varied func tions of the Clinic cannot be men tioned here; but no matter how dif ferent iu nature the functions may be, the child is the ultimate center of each, as hope for greater understand ing of the emotionally disturbed pre vails.
