[Psychiatry and psychoanalysis: psychopathology among inpatients].
Most patients receiving psychiatric care are in need of a complex form of treatment combining psychiatry and psychotherapy. When these patients are admitted to hospital, this combination should not be lost: the patient will be examined and his medication regulated. However, and in contrast to classical medical care, the in-patient treatment in itself must have a positive psychotherapeutic impact on the patient. To date, psychoanalysis could provide an important contribution in maximizing the psychotherapeutic aspect of the psychiatric treatment if it takes into account current evolutions of medicine and society. Two short examples illustrate the way we combine psychoanalysis and psychiatry today.
