Abstract

The author recalls that child psychiatry is modern. It is inscribed in the development of medicine but, in France, it is marked by the contribution of psychoanalysis. It deals with the body and the soul. The transgenerational process is present in ourselves, with the age to be a child, the age to be a parent and the age to be a grandparent. Childhood wounds, the infantilismus, leave their mark in the soul. The pains of the body can lead to a will to live and the pains of the soul to a will to die. A psychiatry which would only take the body and not the soul into account would be neither old nor modern, but stupid and bad.
