[Outcome of 89 psychiatric emergencies managed by 3 mental health centers in an emergency service].

This paper deals with the assessment after 2 years of the outcome of 89 psychiatric emergencies taking in charge in Saint-Luc hospital's (Brussels) emergency room, by 3 community mental health services. After the triangulation of the demand, in the emergency room, 91% of the patients go to the community mental health service. In 92.5% of cases, the crisis intervention is carried out by the same therapists they met in the emergency room with the collaboration of other members of the outpatient team. Crisis interventions are brief (less than 3 months) in 50% of cases, less than 1 years in 11.5% of cases and lead in 35% of cases to long-term in charge (more than 2 years: psychiatric and social follow-up).

[Psychiatric commitment and current legislation of 26 June 1990 relative to mentally ill persons].

A study on the psychiatric confinements in the Walloon region in the year 1984 allows to define the patient's psychopathology and the context of the requests. The new law of the 26 June 1990 relating to the protection of the mentally ill person will probably be used mostly in such situations. Its conditions of implementation, positive aspects and the difficulties it could create are detailed.

[Crisis work challenged in emergencies].

This paper present a statistical study on the population of 775 psychiatric emergencies that arrived at the emergency service of Saint-Luc Hospital in Brussels (Belgium), between September 1, 1986 and December 31, 1986. The first request of the patient is medical, whereas his relatives expect that the abnormal and disturbing aspects of the patient's behaviour be taken in charge. From the point of view of diagnosis, two populations are clearly identified: psychiatric disorders (or psychiatry in emergency) and couple or family crisis situations, these representing the most specific aspect of psychiatric emergencies. The model of crisis interaction-intervention developed to address these emergencies is presented.
