[Evaluation of injunction to care practices: A study of 119 cases].

CONCLUSIONS: Most of the subjects in injunction to care had no axis I disorder but addictions and/or pathological personality traits. Nevertheless, the expert concluded the need of an IC. Personality and behavior disorders do not always require psychiatric care, and the management must be multidisciplinary. In France, the psychiatrist remains at the center of injunction to care measure. The addictology care is not developed whereas it is a population at risk and there is a lack of interactions between professionals (medical, social and judicial professionals). The IC is a measure that needs to be improved by means of better communication among the different professionals and a better global assessment of the subjects. Medical care must be a possible option but not a systematic treatment. PMID: 30961972 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
