Psychosocial Care of the Child and Family

Since Garrod’s initial description of inborn errors of metabolism in 1923 [1], a large number and a great variety of inherited metabolic disorders have been identified. Increasingly physicians have come to recognize the complexities of psychosocial care for the child with an inborn error of metabolism. Although the special features of each condition dictate an individualized treatment approach, there are general issues of adaptation to the illness, styles of coping, and mechanisms of defense against anxiety that are pertinent to all families with affected children.
