A third principle of this chapter is that the assessment process in child psychiatry has unique challenges, including the use and consideration of multiple informants and the developmental level of the child. These challenges lead to the fourth principle, which is that successful treatment requires education and collaboration with the family and others involved with the child. Treatment of developmental neurobiology affects the environment that surrounds the child, and treatment of the surrounding environment in turn affects developmental neurobiology. This interaction implies that early and effective intervention can alter the developmental trajectory of a child with a mental disorder.

Child psychiatry in Japan has a relatively long history of its own. In the 1950s, several medical schools started child psychiatric services in their departments of psychiatry, primarily through child psychiatrists who had trained in the United States. In 1959, clinical psychiatrists and allied professionals who were interested in mental health and disorders of children first established the Japanese Society of Child Psychiatry. This society published the first issue of the Japanese Journal of Child Psychiatry and Allied Disciplines in 1960, the same year as the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry and Allied Disciplines in the United Kingdom, a year ahead of the Journal of the American Academy of Child Psychiatry in the United States, and well over 30 years before European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. 

However, for several reasons, Japanese child psychiatrists, have been less enthusiastic about the psycho-pharmacological treatment of children than their American colleagues. First, Japanese child psychiatry was strongly psychosocially oriented, possibly because most of its founders came from clinical psychiatry and psychopathology backgrounds. Second, Japanese child psychiatry experienced an intense antipsychiatry movement in the early 1970s, when many Japanese child... 

For all of those reasons, pediatric psychopharmacology is still an underdeveloped branch of medicine in Japan, and is not comparable to that in the United States. Nevertheless, psychopharmacological treatments have been an important part of therapeutics in Japanese child psychiatry.
