Abstract:
Criteria of patient-physician relationship are reported and give interesting results, so far to our knowledge not published in pediatric literature. Intrafamilial needs are registered out of a talk between doctor and visiting patients in a doctor's office. General functions of the pediatrician for his patients are analysed and found to exceed organic problems, a trend to increase in future. The role of the pediatrician is seen to include psychohygienic and psychosomatic knowledge in order to fulfill the patients needs in the face of social medicine and increasing psychological knowledge of childrens development.
