title: [Introduction to the epidemiological study of five years of extra-hospital psychosocial practice at Ixelles].
abstract: This work is aimed at encompassing five years (1969-1973) of extra-hospital psychosocial activity performed by a multidisciplinary team of the sector of the population of Ixelles (85.000 inhabitants). Apart from a population study, we have focused on all consultants (676 patients) in a statistical frame. We have defined three directions: 1. Obtaining a complete picture of the consulting population according to epidemiological and clinical variables. 2. The control in our daily practice of three classical goals which underline the work in sector (permanence -- multidisciplinary team work -- priority to psychotics). 3. The attempt to verify some common assertions in psychiatry, general and social: relationship between season and pathology, between obligation to consults (for the patient) and social class, between type of pathology and social class. Our results for the two last issues differ from those of Hollingshead and Redlich.
