--- abstract: |- Psychotic disorders are severe devastating illnesses that can seriously compromise the quality of life of many patients. Special considerations are needed for special patient populations such as, children and adolescents, as the developmental stage may greatly influence the clinical presentation and outcome. The vast bulk of research on psychosis has excluded children with psychotic disorders. The existence of childhood psychoses was discussed and denied for many years especially due to distinct definitions and different classifications that kept changing over time. Today, childhood psychosis is a well known entity (Tengan & Maia, 2004). altloc: - http://www.jiacam.org/0101/Jiacam05_2_1.pdf chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Sharma given: I honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2005-07 date_type: published datestamp: 2005-08-06 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/42/13 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: - family: Sharma given: I honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Sagar given: Rajesh honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Srivastava given: Mona honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Johnson given: Beena honourific: '' lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 4213 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/4213/1/Jiacam05_2_1.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: ~ lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:55:56 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 2 pagerange: 1 pubdom: TRUE publication: Journal of Indian Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health publisher: Indian Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 12 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:56:58 subjects: - jiacam succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: "Psychosis in Children: What is our present state of knowledge\n" type: journalp userid: 5510 volume: 1
