Overview

The Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry was founded by Dr. Leo Kanner in 1930. Kanner was the first physician to be identified as a child psychiatrist in this country, and his textbook, Child Psychiatry (1935), is credited with introducing the specialty to the academic community. Today, the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins continues to provide the highest quality care to its patients. Building upon the vision of its founders, the Division remains at the forefront of patient care, professional education and research. Conditions we treat. 

We offer hospital-based intensive evaluation and treatment programs, as well as out-patient services. Within Hopkins Children's, there are two inpatient units, one partial hospitalization program (day hospital) and a consultation program. And we offer multiple psychiatry services in the community. Our multidisciplinary team includes psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers and teachers. Other pediatric sub-specialists are available as needed and care is closely coordinated with outpatient providers. More information about our clinical services.
