Am J Psychiatry 1 49:2, February 1992 289 Pursuant to the recommendation of the Board of Trustees, which provided money for the first meeting of the component, staff is seeking outside funding for the continuation and completion of the assignment of the task force. The Task Force on the Psychiatric Aspects of New Reproductive Technologies, Miriam Rosenthal, M.D., chairperson, expects to cornplete its monograph by winter 1992. All recommendations will pertam to psychiatry, although the task force is multidisciplinary. The Task Force on Day Care for Pre-School Children, Myron Belfer, M.D., chairperson, developed a position statement on day care. The group emphasized the importance of day care, that sometimes it is not a matter of choice for parents but a necessity. The APA membership is being asked to maintain constant vigilance about day care, as is the Joint Commission on Government Relations. Groups of residents and fellows within APA are also being asked to lobby for ongoing attention to day care. Each component developed a workshop or symposium for the 1 99 1 annual meeting. The council joined Board of Trustees member Herbert Sacks, M.D., in planning and participating in an annual meeting workshop on custody and visitation. The council has developed active liaisons with the Council on Intemnational Affairs (regarding the plight of Rumanian children and children in the Near East), the Council on Research (regarding ongoing NIMH funding for research on children and adolescents), the Task Force on the Homeless Mentally Ill (under the Council on Psychiatric Services), the Committee on Human Rights (under the Council on International Affairs), and the Committee on the Chronically Mentally Ill (under the Council on Psychiatric Services). The council received a report on the development of the Board of Adolescent Psychiatry and plans to develop a formal response. After a review of materials that address the development of a subspecialty in neurodevelopmental pediatrics, the council recommended that APA communicate to the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Board of Pediatrics APA’s concern about the lack of coondination in the development of curricula for specialists who serve children and youth. The council has also recommended development of dialogue regarding coordinated planning to best meet the needs of children and youth.
