Abstract
Psychiatrists play a key role in the care of soldiers suffering from mental disorders. In constant contact with the unit doctor, he or she is an indispensable link in their support, both in France and in overseas theaters of operation. Because of the specific nature of the profession of arms, military psychiatrists go beyond the divide between care and expertise found in the civilian world, to take charge of soldiers as closely as possible to their needs, and make a decision on their fitness for duty that is best suited to the constraints of the environment and the mission. The case of a young sailor hospitalized for severe psychiatric decompensation underlines the characteristics of an unusual medical practice.
期刊介绍:
La revue Soins Psychiatrie adresse a tous les acteurs du soin en santé mentale, soignants et partenaires sociaux quel que soit leur lieu de exercice : hospitalisation traditionnelle, secteur, foyer, HAD, domicile..., tissant ainsi un vaste réseau entre tous les lieux de soins et de santé mentale. Le interdisciplinarité est le maitre mot des équipes en psychiatrie, tant il est vrai que le soignant existe pas en tant que entité séparée. Ayant comme pole fédérateur le patient reconnu comme individu a part entière avec toute son histoire, la revue réunit, dans chaque numéro, les écrits de professionnels aux compétences variées. Les textes sont sélectionnés par un Comité de rédaction appuyé par des conseillers.
