In resuscitation or surgery departments, the recourse to the psychiatrist regarding a polytraumatized patient occurs according to two main contexts. Firstly, patients with major psychiatric troubles are concerned, sometimes after suicide attempts. Secondly, patients with behaviour disorders or somatic complaints may attract the physician's attention. The authors study the psychiatric intervention in those various cases.
