  • Psychiatrie en milieu carcéral

    • 1st Edition
    • Pierre Thomas + 2 more
    • French
    En 30 ans, la psychiatrie s'est progressivement éloignée de son image carcérale et s'est enrichie de nouvelles pratiques basées sur l'alliance thérapeutique. Parallèlement, de plus en plus de détenus souffrant de pathologies psychiatriques sont incarcérés dans les prisons de France et d'Europe, créant des besoins de soins et d'accompagnements au-delà des capacités de réponse des dispositifs en place. Qu'ont-ils en commun, ces patients qui rentrent en prison et pourquoi « échappent-ils» aux soins communautaires ? Plus de comorbidités, plus de précarité, des actes médico-légaux dont la pénalisation peut parfois paraître démesurée par rapport à l'acte et le contexte dans lequel il a été commis. Pourquoi la prison devient-elle le lieu de vie des patients psychiatriques marginalisés ? Les raisons de cette évolution sont complexes et s'inscrivent dans l'articulation des politiques sociales, pénales et des politiques de santé. Comment délivrer des soins en prison ? Quelle interaction est la plus adéquate avec les personnels de l'administration pénitentiaire ? Cet ouvrage rédigé par l'équipe du SMPR de Lille fait l'état des lieux de l'accès aux soins des détenus dans les prisons françaises. Partout, les équipes des secteurs psychiatriques et des services médico-sociaux qui interviennent dans les établissements pénitentiaires ont mis en place à partir des moyens dont elles disposent des dispositifs de soin et d'accompagnement exemplaires. Parfois, ils ont bénéficié d'un cadre légal comme dans les addictions ou dans la prévention des risques, parfois il s'agit de créativité dans le recours aux psychothérapies, à l'abord de maltraitances, à l'accompagnement périnatal des femmes incarcérées ou encore dans la prise en charge des auteurs de violences sexuelles dans un cadre légal plus flou qu'en milieu ouvert. Les intervenants en santé mentale trouveront ici des réponses à toutes les questions soulevées par les pratiques en milieu carcéral, questions qui concernent l'ensemble de la société.
