CLINICAL PERSPECTIVES are 3 hours in duration. Clinical Perspectives are similar to Symposia. They present a particular topic related to treatment, research method, service delivery, or clinical care, which is evidence-based, but also includes the "art" and clinical wisdom of the practice of child and adolescent psychiatry. Clinical Perspectives present perspectives of different aspects of a topic or differing views of the same topic. It is the expectation of the Program Committee that presenters will come from different institutions. However, if all speakers are from the same site, then a discussant from another site should be included.

There are two types of Clinical Perspectives. The first provides an opportunity for discussion on a particular topic by experts who approach the issue from slightly different, but generally complementary, perspectives. The second type offers discussion of a controversial topic by experts with differing views.

Clinical Perspectives have a maximum of five (5) presenters, including the chair and discussant. The "two-fer" rule applies to Clinical Perspectives and Symposia: no one may make more than a total of two formal presentations in Clinical Perspectives and/or Symposia. Acting as a discussant or chair without a formal presentation is not limited by this rule. All accepted submissions must display full disclosure slides to the audience. Approximately 25 Clinical Perspective spaces are available.

The following information is required:
  • The overall title
  • The chair’s affiliation and email address
  • Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Ethics Committee review status
  • Educational learning objectives
  • One Review Abstract and Proceedings Abstract for the overall Clinical Perspectives describing the reasons why the individual components belong in the same submission and providing a description of each person’s participation
  • A Review Abstract and Proceedings Abstract for each individual presentation
  • Each co-presenter's, discussant's, and co-author’s name, affiliation and email address
  • Disclosure of conflicts of affiliation from each chair, discussant, and presenter (AACAP will contact each presenter individually in late February to obtain this information.)
