Ten Years of Community Treatment Orders in Western Switzerland
Community treatment orders (CTOs) are legal procedures that authorise compulsory community mental health care for people with severe mental disorders. Since their introduction in Switzerland in 2013, the Swiss Canton of Vaud (846'300 inhabitants) has been engaged in the monitoring of CTOs. This study describes the use of this measure in the Canton of Vaud over the 10 years since its introduction and examines the profile of people undergoing CTOs …
Alliance thérapeutique, entre rupture et jeux de pouvoir, une étude qualitative
L’alliance thérapeutique (AT) est considérée comme un des piliers fondateurs d’une démarche thérapeutique. Sa rupture est un phénomène complexe touchant tant les patient(e)s que les thérapeutes. La rupture d’une AT fait intervenir des dynamiques de mise en retrait ou de confrontation, voire les deux. Cet article se focalise sur l’expérience des patient(e)s face à une rupture de l’AT au travers d’entretiens. Que disent les patient(e)s des comporte…
A randomized controlled trial of a targeted support program for informal caregivers in adult psychiatry

Perceived fairness as main determinant of patients' satisfaction with care during psychiatric hospitalisation
INTRODUCTION: Patient satisfaction with care is widely recognized as one of the most important indicator of quality in mental health care. It can impact several treatment outcomes, such as treatment adherence and engagement with services. At the same time, as an outcome in itself, satisfaction with care is also affected by several factors, first and foremost by being coerced. The main aim of this study was to test if perceiving treatment pressure…
Mental health professionals' feelings and attitudes towards coercion
BACKGROUND: Despite absence of clear evidence to assert that the use of coercion in psychiatry is practically and clinically helpful or effective, coercive measures are widely used. Current practices seem to be based on institutional cultures and decision-makers' attitudes towards coercion rather than led by recommendations issued from the scientific literature. Therefore, the main goal of our study was to describe mental health professionals' fe…
The Joint Crisis Plan
Purpose: The Joint Crisis Plan (JCP) has received growing interest in clinical and research settings. JCP is a type of psychiatric advance statement that describes how to recognize early signs of crisis and how to manage crises. The purpose of the present study, to our knowledge the first to be conducted on this topic in the French-speaking context and to include inpatients, was to describe the content of JCPs and how they are perceived by patien…
Propensity to decide on involuntary hospitalisation in primary medical care
French Translation and Validation of Three Scales Evaluating Stigma in Mental Health
Because of their good psychometric properties, these three scales can be used in French, either separately, to measure one specific dimension of stigma, or together, to assess stigma in its three dimensions. This would seem of paramount importance in evaluating campaigns against stigma since it allows measures to be adapted according to campaign goals and the target population
Feasibility and Accessibility of a Tailored Intervention for Informal Caregivers of People with Severe Psychiatric Disorders
This pilot study provided preliminary results concerning the feasibility and acceptability of the tailored Ensemble program and indicates the need for a randomized trial. The Ensemble program is appropriate for both the acute and chronic phases of disease. Individualized brief and useful interventions for informal caregivers may provide more positive outcomes in care
Multicomponent Intervention for Patients Admitted to an Emergency Unit for Suicide Attempt
Suicide is a major cause of premature deaths worldwide and belongs to the top priority public health issues. While suicide attempt is the most important risk factor for completed suicide, intervention for suicide attempters (SA) have produced mixed results. Since an important proportion of SA request medical care, emergency units (EU) are an opportune setting to implement such interventions. This exploratory study evaluated the feasibility and ac…
