Abstract
Surprisingly little has been written on the interview with the child as a diagnostic tool, in contrast to the voluminous literature on the therapeutic interview. Whereas standard texts on child psychiatry usually include a discussion of the physician-child relationship and of the use of play situation, it is rare for there to be any systematic account of the interview with the child as a diagnostic procedure.
