THE FIRST TRAVELING PSYCHIATRIC CLINIC IN QUEBEC
Abstract
The first year of operation of a traveling mental health clinic functioning as part of a mental hospital service, with emphasis on treatment and preventive psychiatry, is described. Close liaison with the local medical profession and new techniques of therapy are referred to and recommended. The results of this pilot project, attempting to serve a large area at a considerable distance from the clinic headquarters, auger well for its successful operation in smaller communities nearby. The clinic appears to be a useful and fitting extension of a mental hospital service because of the efficient therapeutic aids now available.
