[Difficulties and pitfalls in the approach to psychosomatic diseases].

The specific particularities, difficulties and, in some instances, pitfalls which are attendant to the approach of "psychosomatic" patients may be a source of therapeutic satisfactions for the practitioner but also of feelings of uneasiness or helplessness. The existence of a psychosomatic relationship, i.e. of evidence which connects, at least in part, a somatic disorder to the psychological context in which it occurs, and the characteristics of the psychosomatic mechanism, i.e. of the various modalities through which psychological distress is converted into physical suffering (physical behaviour and attitudes, conversion hysteria, functional disorders, so-called psychosomatic diseases) are the two questions to be addressed as soon as diagnosis is considered. The difficulties and pitfalls are mostly met during management; the role of the physical practitioner is underscored; some utilizations of psychotropic agents as well as some of the physicians' attitudes and phrases are discussed; the value of methods involving the body (relaxation, etc.) is recalled.

[Role of specialized care units in the psychiatric approach of very young children].

Among the various means of answering psychiatric problems in young children, specialized care units for the very young, such as the one set up at psychiatric department for children and adolescents at the Salpêtrière Hospital, appear to be helpful in some situations which are psychologically highly dangerous as well as life-threatening. The modalities of the reception and therapy of the child and its family are described and discussed. It seems that this type of hospitalization may contribute to the resuming of dynamic developing processes in the child and of positive relationships between child and family, particularly the mother.

[Do psychiatric emergencies exist in children and adolescents?].

From our experience in the pedopsychiatric emergency unit at the Salpêtrière Hospital, we discuss the concept of psychiatric emergency in children and adolescents. In 90% of cases, patients are adolescents aged 14 to 18 years. The acting out and the ensuing emergency consultation seem to be a propitious time for establishing a relationship with the adolescent, meeting his difficulties from a psychological rather than affective standpoint and instituting an exchange with the family.
