Abstract |
Sectorization has been set up to allow the practice of psychiatry closer to people by opening community mental health centers in most cities. Since this advent, the sociology of cities has changed and this response to mental health issues is no longer fully appropriate. Time is accelerating and the waiting list for an appointment has extended. In addition, the " village" has disappeared; families are often single parents because of divorces. The main socializing area is now the company. Also, in these work environments, many human tragedies such as suicides are increasing. These tragedies are not always directly related to the company's issues and internal functioning's. Psychiatrists have a duty to invest the social fields more. This new area of expertise in psychiatry is called upon most often as a preventive measure when faced with potential psychological vulnerabilities. It implies risk assessment of psychosocial origins, accompaniment of a social transition, maintaining human capital, psychological support following difficult and/or brutal events (such as suicides, accidents, etc.). Often, this type of exercise requires adjustment of our practices (ethics, limits of intervention). In these new fields, the objective is to take care of people in order to avoid the appearance of psychiatric disorders (adjustment disorders, etc.) that are not easily absorbed by the current health institutions. Hence these potential disorders may lead to the exclusion of individuals due to their inability to work. © 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS. Language: fr |
