title: [Psychiatry and clinical research. A dialogue with hospital directors].
abstract: Clinical research must be considered as a main and compulsory medical activity which has to be promoted on a European level. Some difficulties appear to be specific to mental diseases and may represent obstacles or a reason not to participate in clinical research. In fact, financing, grants, organizations and research centers do exist and should push forward clinical research in psychiatry. Human and cultural factors may explain why so few breakthroughs have occurred in France in the considered field. Incentive politics as well as avoidance of technical and frequently definitive errors must be proned and issue from a deep analysis of how leading teams are organized and operate.
