title: [Organization of care : specialized psychiatric clinic or general psychiatric clinic ? A debate between Louis Guérette and Jean-Pierre Rodriguez.].
abstract: The author reports on the opinions of doctors Louis Guérette and Jean-Pierre Rodriguez, both psychiatrists - one working at the Pavillon Notre-Dame of the Centre hospitalier universitaire de Montréal (CHUM) - the other at the Pavillon Albert-Prévost (PAP) of the Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal, - on the place of specialized psychiatric clinics in the organization of care in psychiatry. Dr Guérette who practices general psychiatry thinks specialized clinics are not an appropriate mode of care delivery. Dr Rodriguez, answering to Dr Guérette's arguments, presents the organizational system of specialized clinics put in place at the PAP. The questions raised by the author and the psychiatrists' answers are reported. Finally, the author, a resident doctor in psychiatry, presents his own personal opinion on the issue.
