title: [Medicine without boundaries, or the adolescent in the hospital].
abstract: Some of the most common problems set by the hospitalization of adolescents are summarized and the general conditions and specific problems attendant to this activity are analyzed. Answering the health requirements of adolescents implies that a pluridisciplinary staff be permanently prepared to take action. Strict requirements concerning the distribution of tasks between staff members are necessary. However, close communication between the different departments (practitioners, psychiatrists, social workers, outclinics) must be given attention in order to evolve truly therapeutic actions.
