Intérêts et limites des hospitalisations séquentielles dans la prise en charge des états de stress post-traumatique

Beyond emergency, many patients with Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder may evolve into a lasting alteration of their previous health status consisting of polymorphic and durable psychiatric symptomatology. In the Army, the path of these « psychic wounded » is accompanied by different institutional services from recognition to rehabilitation. Thinking the long term psychiatric accompaniment of these patients recquires to question the place of the different interlocutors. In this works we make a feedback about a sequential hospitalization experience taking place in an Army Instruction Hospital by questioning the contributions as the limits. We emphasize notably the difficulty of empirically establishing and reproducing the validity of an therapeutic intervention.
