title: [Some thoughts on the current state of mental health services in the Montréal region.].
abstract: The author sets forth some reflections on the present state of mental health services in the Montreal Region, concerning himself primarily with the problems encountered in the application of the theoretical model underlying the existing services, that being community psychiatry. These problems are of three orders: the distribution of establishments and the geographic distribution of the population do not correspond; because of the liberation of many psychotics a backlash is starting to make itself felt in the population, and chronic patients have become immigrants in the city; the multidisciplinary <<earns are experiencing difficulties in working with this large and demanding clientele, and also in defining the limits to teir interventive capacity, with what that entails.
