Abstract:
The authors describe an experience of early intervention by child psychiatrists in adolescents attending an emergency care pediatrics unit for suicide attempts. The two main aspects of this intervention are: 1) a former interview between the child psychiatrist and the suicidal adolescent taking place within the emergency care pediatrics unit; 2) a systematic few days hospitalization of the suicidal adolescent in a child-adolescent psychiatric unit allowing early therapy for both the adolescent and his/her parents. Based on preliminary results the authors believe that early child psychiatrist intervention provides an improvement in the care of suicidal adolescents, especially to prevent recurrent suicide attempts, as compared with conventional care with delayed child psychiatrist participation.
