[Responses of the psychotherapeutic center of Bondy to emergency requests].
The following statement presents how a psychotherapeutic team undertakes the requests sent by the emergency service from the general hospital. Since 1982, the psychotherapeutic center of Bondy and Pavillons-Sous-Bois can be reached by the emergency service of the hospital Jean Verdier 24 hours a day, every day. Established in Bondy, it also commissioned to undertake every psychiatric problem issued by the two towns. Motorized, the team can either reach the center or move around. Its interventions are polyvalency associating an intern (resident medical student) and a psychiatric nurse. They are themselves supported with another psychiatrist, together with a nurse, both on "phone duty". The polyvalency approach avoid to over-estimate questions upon orientation and danger, and procure a structure leading off a psychopathological understanding upon the problematical pointed out. The autonomy of the team gives the possibility to manage, together with the doctor of the general hospital, for the best solution. If admission to hospital is decided in one of the Jean Verdier service (when medical supervision is necessary) the psychiatric treatment will be assured by the psychiatrist in charge of "secteur". The local implantation of the team and its integration in a general psychiatric service, allow his intervention in a continuity of treatment, including immediately a diagnosis problem together with the elaboration of a therapeutic project. Such a conception of emergencies gives to the public psychiatrist the possibility to answer to demands. His own technics and his own ways of practical organisation are respected. Concerned by emergencies the psychiatrist shares the answer to be given.
