A Brief Report / Un Bref Rapport Psychiatres Et Médecins Spécialistes En Santé Communautaire: Deux Solitudes

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
April 1995

Résumé

La psychiatrie et la santé communautaire ont plusieurs point en commun. Les spécialistes de ces deux disciplines n'utilisent pas de technologie sophistiquée, les résultats de leurs recherches ne sont pas très spectaculaires, et les psychiatres, tout comme les médecins en santé communautaire, on une pauvre image publique. Les représentants de ces deux spécialités médicales devraient travailler plus étroitement ensemble et développer des alliances pour promouvoir la santé mentale dans différents domaines: problèmes comportementaux chez les enfants, alcoolisme et toxicomanies, suicide chez les adolescents, réinsertion sociale des malades mentaux, maladies mentates chez les personnes âgées, violence et abus sexuels, etc. L'auteur croit que les deux solitudes doivent être brisées et qu'un travail d'équipe devrait être entrepris pour améliorer la santé mentale communautaire de la population.

Abstract

The fields of psychiatry and community health have much in common. Specialists in these two disciplines do not use sophisticated technology; the results of their research are not spectacular; and psychiatrists, like physicians specializing in community health, have a poor public image. Representatives of these two medical specialties must work more closely together and develop alliances to promote mental health in areas including: behavioural problems in children, alcoholism and substance abuse, adolescent suicide, community integration of the mentally ill, mental health problems among the elderly, and violence and sexual abuse. The author believes these two solitudes must be brought together and a work team established to improve community mental health.
