[Psychiatry in the suburbs and suburbs of psychiatry].

A psychiatric service near Paris has opened two mobile units with the help and the support of local governments. The authors review their first year's activities involving preliminary consultation with patients without, in the first instance, prescribing treatment or giving any formal diagnosis. The team's action is resolutely preventive.
