[Mental retardation and environment: contribution of growth curves to etiological diagnosis].

Although deprived environment is known for more than 50 years to be one of the etiology of mental retardation in infancy, this remains unrecognized by many paediatricians and family practitioners. Yet if appropriate therapeutic measures are instituted early enough, future development of the child is good. A study of the growth curves in relation with the environmental changes, can help to diagnose environmental mental retardation. As an illustration, we present the cases of 5 children first addressed for developmental delay, and secondly removed from their usual environment for psychosocial reasons. Mean duration of follow-up was 10 years, including at least 5 years after the removal. All 5 children had non-organic failure to thrive which was displayed only on the retrospective study of their records. Four recovered from their developmental retardation.

[Complaints of depression and therapeutic perspectives].

Having reviewed the place of depressive complaint within contemporary nosography, the authors study the psychopathological aspect of clinical pictures called "dysthymias". The rapport of patients with their internal or external objects is deeply ambivalent and characterized by a link that Michael Balint calls "ocnophilic". Those patients also appear peculiar regarding their relationship with temporality, with what can be called: a "dictatorship of the present" reflecting their inability to be located in a "narrative" development. Some principles stem from these considerations, concerning therapeutic strategies as does a reminder of the difficulties in bringing about a genuine evolution.

[Intercommunication psychiatry in a burn center].

The support of psychiatric disorders in a burn centre has been effected since three years, in Saint Luc Hospital (Lyon) thanks to a liaison group. One hour a week, several cases of patients are approached in this group which gathers two psychiatrists and the team dealing with burnt patients. Psychiatrists are attached to clarify the relation between people who attend and patients, to give a diagnosis and propose a strategy in front of difficulties they meet. The psychiatric care is reintegrated in the somatic support and assured by people who are daily effectively in contact with patients. This paper describes the advantages of the liaison psychiatry with regard to a direct intervention of the psychiatrist on the patient. It defines the targets these therapeutic weapon can aim and details the obtained results: for 3 years, the group has met 104 times for 241 "indirect consultations" concerning 99 different patients and count 50 good results on site and 5 specialized orientations; 10 deaths and 11 quick departures exclude 21 patients from the study; 17 cases have been stayed without continuation and 6 without any change.
