abstract="This study concerns 52 patients presenting an adjustment disorder who have been evaluated at the end of treatment or after three years of treatment. The high frequency of comorbidity (31% of the cases), of suicide attempts (14%), of developing a more serious psychiatric disorder (29%) and an unfavourable clinical state (23%) confirms the fact that it is an important disorder one musn't neglect. A correspondance analysis shows that the parameters associated to a negative evolution (professional status, type of disorder, comorbidity, final state, type of treatment, professional training, living condition) are different from those linked to its psychiatric dimension (psychotropes, past psychiatrical history, diagnostic modification, length of treatment superior to six months, age, sex). The difficulty in interpreting the importance of stress on the evolution of adjustment disorder is connected with the methodological problems linked to the atheorism of the DSM-III-R.<p /><p>Language: fr</p>",
