[Interventions with a patient in a psychologic or social crisis in the hospital of the psychiatric district].

Three questions have been analysed in the study on patients in a state of psychosocial crisis : Who is coming? Who is intervening? Where are they sent? Three epidemiological studies have been taken into account : one study on 16 medical surgical centers in Brussels, the second study on two public emergency services linked to psychiatric services and the third one on a psychiatric district of a popular suburb in Brussels. The study stresses the importance of alcoholism and analyses the differences in population, intervention and response brought by the hospital or the district.
