FROM OPEN-DOOR SECTION TO RECEPTION - DAUMEZON,GEORGES, THE CPOA AND THE ANNALES-MEDICO-PSYCHOLOGIQUES

The open-door psychiatric cares were almost out-law in France since 18 38 to 1990. In fact french public psychiatrists treated patients as << open-door >> or << free- >> or << out-patients >> since before the se cond world war. Georges Daumezon created in 1968, at Paris-Sainte-Anne , the first full-time center for any patients, in honour to his memory , the authors emphasize on an experience of almost twenty years that p sychiatric, emergencies are constant in number and in nosologic nature . These nosology and ways of psychiatric help must be modified in acco rd to the present reality.
