SUMMARY. The invitation to contribute to Children & Society coincided with the writer's official retirement from child psychiatric practice. The development of services, clinical, training, teaching, and research has been an ever present challenge throughout. With just enough sense of ‘distance’ to aspire to a feeling of perspective, but not jet too remote from the scene, the author sets out a personal view of the services for emotionally disturbed children and their families. While progress is painfully slow he concludes that there is sufficient goodwill to achieve some real improvements.
