- Abstract
- The emergency services in general hospitals have had to deal with an increasing number of psychiatric emergencies, indicative of the stress imposed by modern urban life and the increasing size of the cities. The current means of treating these emergencies have been examined: mobile teams, crisis centers, emergency ward without psychiatrists, or with an 'on-call' psychiatric team, and psychiatric emergency services. The problems raised by the current means of treating psychiatric emergencies and the main aims of the steps taken to deal with these problems have been discussed. Finally, the means of establishing a coherent psychiatric emergency care policy have been outlined: a permanent psychiatric team, real integration of the psychiatric team within the emergency department, beds for short-term hospitalization, an isolation room, and offices where interviews can be carried out with a certain degree of privacy.
