All the child psychiatry programs in the United States were surveyed. Basic demographic data & information concerning problem trainees were obtained for virtually all of the fellows during the academic year 1980-81. 8% of the fellows were judged by their training directors to have significant emotional disturbance & another 7% were judged to have experienced “other” difficulties. Risk factors are identified & discussed. The discussion focuses on identifying & coping with the problem trainee.
