- Abstract
<bold>Objectives: </bold>The review lists the child psychiatry day-care centres in Quebec, evaluates their capacity, and describes them according to the age range for admission, the psychopathologies treated, and the parent involvement required.<bold>Method: </bold>The 26 programs selected, which are all associated with a hospital centre, assess and treat children aged 0 to 12 years on a day-care basis. Organization, clinical operation, and research are addressed during a semisupervised interview.<bold>Results: </bold>The average capacity is 18 children (4 to 40), with a total capacity of 454 children. The number of preschool patients can be compared with the number of school patients. Few programs are dedicated to invasive development disorders, and one-third treat behavioural or emotional disorders. The larger capacity programs treat patients of both genders. Most programs are eclectic and encourage but do not require parental involvement.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>Results take into account different theoretical influences, the controversy about integration criteria and parent involvement, and the specificity of the child psychiatry mission.
