Objectives
During the sixties, the important development of psychotherapies gave rise to great expectations for the treatment of psychoses. Are those days over or are there still publications that support the place and effectiveness of psychoanalytically-inspired psychotherapies?
Material and methods
Bibliographical research was carried out focusing on the 15-year period from 2005 to 2020 using Pubmed, Scopus, Psycart, and Cairninfo, and with the keywords: psychodynamics and psychosis or schizophrenia, psychoanalysis and schizophrenia or psychosis, Articles dealing only with theoretical issues related to psychoses or schizophrenia were excluded.
Results
By excluding meta-analyses, all of which have moreover shown at best a discrete effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapies, we retained 63 articles, 26 of which with the word psychoanalysis. This observation alone is indicative of the lack of publications addressing these themes with fewer than 5 publications per year at the international level! As far as effectiveness studies are concerned, the results are even rarer: We found 11 studies among the 63 selected articles. Only two of these studies used a control group and standardized scales. The need for standardization has resulted in the creation of a simplified form of psychotherapy, “Supportive Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy”.
Conclusion
The pressure to demonstrate efficiency rather than effectiveness has prevailed over psychoanalytic psychotherapies in the treatment of psychoses. However, that is probably not the only reason. The complexity of the theory of psychoses and the lack of synthesis works render its transmission difficult. If we do not want all the theoretical advances that have been made to be lost, we must ensure that the teaching of these theories be more specific and synthetic. Similarly, we need to launch longer-term studies so that a sufficient duration of treatment allows for a real evaluation of the efficiency of these therapies.

Is research necessary for psychiatric care? On the contrary, could it prove to be counter-productive, reducing the scope of the field by the reductionism inherent in its methodology? This article examines the specific features of care in psychiatry, from the point of view of the history of our discipline and its close links with both clinical and fundamental research. Its main lines of development are then detailed, viewed through the lens of the ethical and epistemological challenges facing the discipline, in terms of their impact on care, and the compatibility between the question of care, and that of the quest for knowledge. The very essence of the former being to look after the subject's well-being, whereas that of the latter is often aimed primarily at the collective interest and indirectly at individual care, without necessarily guaranteeing it.

<div><p>There is considerable confusion between the terms multidisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity. Multidisciplinarity suggests a juxtaposition of knowledge. The various specialists in their disciplines complement each other and intervene alongside each other around a common subject. This produces points of view, which are superimposed, without bringing out any real added value. Interdisciplinarity requires interaction and interrelation. The pooling of knowledge requires a greater intertwining of disciplines, minimizing the differences between them while preserving their specificities and their foundations. A specialist's robust monodisciplinary expertise enriches the other members of the team, allowing for a more global, more systemic approach. Refusing to approach complex problems through the categorial prism of individual disciplines, transdisciplinarity seeks to integrate disciplines to go between, through and beyond disciplines by completely dissolving traditional boundaries. One of the particularities of complex holistic care, such as that in psychiatry, is that it cannot be managed effectively by a single person or a single discipline. Hyperspecialization results in a segmentation of the human being by no longer taking into account the entirety of the person treated. By analyzing and harmonizing the links between the different disciplines, interdisciplinarity sheds light on complex situations and enriches the responses offered. It improves quality, offers a global approach to the patient by mobilizing knowledge from different disciplines and by defragmenting and decompartmentalizing their knowledge. Interdisciplinarity is not self-evident and it cannot be likened to a simple mode of coordination where complementarity is valued. To meet this challenge, communication, coordination and clarification of roles by the team leader, whose leadership is recognized and valued, are essential. The medical literature recognizes a real added value of interdisciplinary approaches in complex medical situations. Eventually, it may be necessary to go a step further. Nevertheless, transdisciplinarity is of such complexity and requires such maturity of the teams, that we do not support it as the first step toward implementing a patient holistic approach.

Today, care and support systems for victims of violent events are composed, from the very beginning of the emergency, of medico-psychological caregivers and legal experts. Although closely intertwined, psychological care and reparation fall into two different fields: the clinical and the legal. Some terms have clearly differentiated meanings while others, using similar terms, cover very different realities. Furthermore, the use of the expressions “victim”, “trauma” and “reparation” following a violent event has become so wide spread that they have lost all specificity. We therefore feel it is fundamental to define these terms in each of their respective fields. Secondly, we will attempt to differentiate between care and reparation, so as not to maintain the confusion between what lies in the legal realm or in the psychological reality. Legal experts and psychotherapists can only improve their practices if each maintains their respective place while liaising, establishing the necessary continuity between what unites people and what makes them different, distinctions that at times become blurred, or that come dangerously close?

<div><h3>Context</h3><p>The debate about unconventional healthcare practices and their possible integration into conventional medical care presents an inexhaustible subject of polemics and controversy, particularly in France. In this debate, some prefer to openly deny its complexity in favor of simplistic rhetoric: these are the pro- and anti-unconventional medicine activists. Their radical rhetoric provides an ideal realm of discussion in which to analyze the cognitive shortcuts and other reasoning biases they employ. An initial analysis of the arguments put forth by the antis reveals an asymmetry in the use of the critical thinking they claim: the latter is applied to so-called “pseudo-medicine” and very little to their “rationalist” arguments.</p></div><div><h3>Method</h3><p>In this article, we have chosen to compensate for this shortcoming by providing a critical analysis of the 10 most common “rationalist sceptic” arguments used by opponents of complementary medical practices put forth in the press and media. Given the caricatural nature of certain skeptical positions, we have chosen to use satire and caricature ourselves for didactic purposes. Each of the 10 arguments is presented as follows: 1) a summary of the radical assertion being defended, followed by 2) the partial arguments or rhetorical strategy put forward to justify it, and 3) the counterarguments which are more or less deliberately kept silent.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>We present a short caricatural summary of this argument: “Breaking news in the field of health care! Wired therapies are attempting to invade real medicine! We, rationalist physicians and defenders of true medicine, are concerned about the development of integrative medicine in France. We are sending this 10-point skeptical rationalist argument to the entire medical community and health professionals in order to put a stop to the development of integrative medicine and protect real medicine from heretics. We challenge every health care professional to take a stand; scientific medicine represents Good, because the Truth is on our side and the evidence guides our steps. If there were any evidence in favor of complementary and integrative medicine, we would be aware of it. In fact, these proponents are nothing more than charlatans whose claims are groundless.

Analyse critique de dix arguments rationalistes sceptiques","authors":"Fabrice Berna , Laurent Lecardeur , Laurence Verneuil , Julien Nizard , Renaud Evrard","doi":"10.1016/j.amp.2023.07.003","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.amp.2023.07.003","url":null,"abstract":"<div><h3>Context</h3><p>The debate about unconventional healthcare practices and their possible integration into conventional medical care presents an inexhaustible subject of polemics and controversy, particularly in France. In this debate, some prefer to openly deny its complexity in favor of simplistic rhetoric: these are the pro- and anti-unconventional medicine activists. Their radical rhetoric provides an ideal realm of discussion in which to analyze the cognitive shortcuts and other reasoning biases they employ. An initial analysis of the arguments put forth by the antis reveals an asymmetry in the use of the critical thinking they claim: the latter is applied to so-called “pseudo-medicine” and very little to their “rationalist” arguments.</p></div><div><h3>Method</h3><p>In this article, we have chosen to compensate for this shortcoming by providing a critical analysis of the 10 most common “rationalist sceptic” arguments used by opponents of complementary medical practices put forth in the press and media. Given the caricatural nature of certain skeptical positions, we have chosen to use satire and caricature ourselves for didactic purposes. Each of the 10 arguments is presented as follows: 1) a summary of the radical assertion being defended, followed by 2) the partial arguments or rhetorical strategy put forward to justify it, and 3) the counterarguments which are more or less deliberately kept silent.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>We present a short caricatural summary of this argument: “Breaking news in the field of health care! Wired therapies are attempting to invade real medicine! We, rationalist physicians and defenders of true medicine, are concerned about the development of integrative medicine in France. We are sending this 10-point skeptical rationalist argument to the entire medical community and health professionals in order to put a stop to the development of integrative medicine and protect real medicine from heretics. We challenge every health care professional to take a stand; scientific medicine represents Good, because the Truth is on our side and the evidence guides our steps. If there were any evidence in favor of complementary and integrative medicine, we would be aware of it. In fact, these proponents are nothing more than charlatans whose claims are groundless. Let's be serious and proud to be Cartesian, because our country still stands up to all these would-be crooks.

<div><p>Neglect is the most common form of child abuse. It can also have the most serious impact on a child's development, with an increased and accompanying risk of the emergence of psychiatric disorders from adolescence to adulthood. Child neglect is under-recognized today, due to a lack of training for professionals, the orientation of child psychiatry, and difficulties in understanding what this vague concept refers to. After proposing definitions of neglect, its characteristics, and its effects, we present the possible actions of the child psychiatrist in the ecosystem of the neglected child. Neglect is neither a legal nor a medical term. It is, however, used by doctors and social workers, with a loose definition as the absence of appropriate care for a child's development. Neglect is multifactorial. The French consensus approach to the basic needs of the child has highlighted a meta-need for security, emphasizing attachment and the particular qualities of the caregiver. In light of this report, we understand that affective or emotional neglect is the most problematic form of neglect. The effects of neglect are early, depending on the child's age. They can manifest as developmental delays, sleep disorders, tonus disorders in infants, intellectual disorders, and various internalized and externalized disorders in adolescence. Mortality and morbidity are increased in cases of neglect, and developmental sequelae have been described. Neglect has a greater impact on development than physical abuse. The child psychiatrist can take three types of action to treat the neglected child. Firstly, he or she must identify neglect and alert the appropriate instances so as to protect the child. Identification involves being aware of indicators of neglect and a particular clinical pattern that varies according to age, requiring the exploration of the different lines of development. Three clinical patterns seem to be linked to extreme neglect: anaclitic depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, particularly complex developmental trauma, and attachment disorders. When faced with symptoms suggestive of neglect, the child psychiatrist should try to rule out a sensory or neurodevelopmental cause, sometimes seeking the advice of a specialist. He or she will observe the child's behavior alone and with his or her parents, as well as parent-child relationships, and will consider the child outside the family microsystem in an ecosystemic approach. The child psychiatrist can use available standardized tools that explore the various dimensions of neglect. This multi-consultation assessment should not delay the child psychiatrist's initial actions, given the narrow developmental windows. In particular, the child psychiatrist may be required to report the child's situation to the administrative and judicial authorities. The care provided to the neglected child will then take place within the child's own ecosystem. Interventions must be early, participative and in partner

<div><h3>Objectives</h3><p>This article focuses on the ethical issues surrounding gender-affirming care for transgender people (i.e. A person whose gender does not correspond to their sex assigned at birth), particularly the respect of the rights of transgender patients to autonomy during psychiatric evaluations. This topic gives leave to a deeper investigation into the principles of non-maleficence when diagnosing gender dysphoria and into the principles of justice when providing essential medical care for transgender people in France.</p></div><div><h3>Materials and methods</h3><p>Firstly, a review of the literature was carried out in order to explore the historicity of sex, its definition and variations, and the concept of gender identity. To establish the latter's relationship to psychiatry, the evolution of gender dysphoria through psychiatric classifications and guidelines was reviewed, as well as the role of the psychiatrist in the process of gender-affirming treatment. A reflection was also carried out concerning the ethical issues of the medical care of trans people, through the autonomy of choice, beneficence and non-maleficence of access to the hormonal-surgical transition, and the societal issues involved in the evolution of the consideration of gender. A study was conducted via a websurvey and a questionnaire was sent to psychiatric residents completing their studies in France. A total of 70 respondents were included. The questionnaire asked residents to give their opinion on transgender people's right to autonomy (and how to respect them) during psychiatric assessments and psychological inputs.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>The answers from the residents indicate that they are mainly in favor of upholding transgender people's right to autonomy, with an emphasis on their capacity and their right to self-determination. Conversely, 15% of the respondents viewed transgender identities as a mental disorder and were more in favor of a medicalized model of treating gender dysphoria. A psychiatric assessment prior to receiving gender-affirming care was still perceived as necessary in order to eliminate differential diagnoses and to evaluate the capacity for informed consent, however, this may be perceived as excessive pathologization for transgender people. On the other hand, this feeling of pathologization is perceived as diminished if this consultation is performed by a psychologist. These answers suggest the necessity of carrying out a comparison with the feelings of the concerned individuals, for a more ethical management of transidentity.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>The issue of meeting the demands of the transgender population is still being debated. It is legitimate to ask whether we can, under cover of their freedom of choice, let the persons concerned make the decision without having first undergone a medical evaluation, and whether the individual's autonomy must take precedence over potential irreversible negative outco
