Abstract

From our experience in the pedopsychiatric emergency unit at the Salpêtrière Hospital, we discuss the concept of psychiatric emergency in children and adolescents. In 90% of cases, patients are adolescents aged 14 to 18 years. The acting out and the ensuing emergency consultation seem to be a propitious time for establishing a relationship with the adolescent, meeting his difficulties from a psychological rather than affective standpoint and instituting an exchange with the family.
