The theme in this issue concerns the interface between child psychiatric services in low- and middle-income countries and the availability of such services in higher-income countries. In neither context are such services ideal, and resources are relatively slim when compared with demand. The key issues are discussed in three terms: first, of the need for nations to have a general statement of child and adolescent mental health policy (Shatkin et al); second, of the need to establish inter national child and mental health research networks to foster research in low- and middle-income countries (Erlich & Plener); and third, of the circumstances that exist for providing such support to children in one such country, Pakistan (Khan et al).
