Objective:
The aim of the study was to investigate capacity, demographic composition, and patterns of practice of Dutch child and adolescent psychiatrists, and to compare these findings with the results of a similar investigation in 1996.
Method:
A postal survey was sent out to all Dutch child and adolescent psychiatrists.
Results:
In comparison with 1996, there is an increase in Dutch child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP) capacity. CAP has moved towards being a predominantly female specialty, usually practised as a mono-specialism, rather than combined with adult psychiatry. CAP as a rule is practised within institutions, rather than in private practice.
Conclusion:
The threat of a stark decline in Dutch CAP capacity starting in the year 2006, predicted in 1996, is lifted. The consequences of the findings are discussed in a European perspective.
