The Unholy Trinity— Activity, Authority, and Magic

Michael B. Rothenberg

Departments of Psychiatry and Pediatrics, University of Washington School of Medicine, Consultation and Education Division, Department of Behavioral Sciences, Children's Orthopedic Hospital and Medical Center, Seattle, Wash. 98105

The pediatrician needs to ask and answer for himself: "What are the major psychosocial developmental milestones which an average child of my patient's age and cultural background has to achieve; what are the characteristic behaviors involved in such achievement; to what extent may his current illness interfere with these behaviors?" Other questions are in the mind of his patient (and the parents), whether or not they are expressed: 1) What do I have? 2) How did I get it? 3) Why did I get it? 4) What can be done about it? 5) When will I get well? With young children up to the age of four or five who require hospitalization there is the additional query: Why did my parents bring me to this place and why are they leaving me here?
