    AbstractThere has been a tremendous amount of progress in the perioperative approach to the child since Levy wrote "Psychic trauma of operations in children and a note on combat neurosis" nearly 50 years ago. Recognition of prolonged behavioral derangements following the anesthetic-surgical-hospital experience and the prominent role that the parent and physician play in modifying these have dramatically changed the contemporary pediatric perioperative care. Of paramount importance is the psychological preparation of family and child. With increasing outpatient or same-day admission surgery and free-standing surgical centers, preoperative preparation will, of necessity, increasingly become the responsibility of the pediatrician.
