[Fighting for the health of people... - what about our mental health?].
This article describes the history, objectives and functioning of the St. Jacques Clinic. This clinic was founded twelve years ago in order to meet the health needs of a lower socioeconomic population. Having for its purpose to serve the people, it seeks to offer, free of charge, all medical care possible and is involved in the fight to improve the living conditions of the workers. The clinic is a cooperative and the services are all free except for dental and psychological care for which the members pay by a selection system. In mental health care, the services are no different than anywhere else but the priorities are. Also, it is to be noted that the therapists are of lacanian analytic orientation.
