title: [Short psychiatric hospitalization (less than seven days) : experience at Albert-Prévost.].
abstract: The authors discuss the available literature on a possible modification of traditional hospitalization in psychiatry : the brief hospitalization. Then they share a 30 month' experience in a transitory treatment unit at Albert-Prévost. Finally, the authors underline the fact that even if research and current use promote such an approach, this form of treatment is rare : they look into the reasons for such a state of affair.
