Abstract

The practice of psychic care for military personnel in the context of hospital care in metropolitan France is singular. Army training hospitals act as rear bases, taking in repatriated medical personnel as well as everyday sufferers, and blending the stigma of a clinic that is more heterogeneous than that which would be specific to the context of war, yet equally involving care teams - nurses, psychologists and psychiatrists - acculturated to the military environment, and singularizing their practice to ever-changing needs in the face of a changing society and world.

Keywords: doctrine; hôpital des armées; military hospital; military psychiatry; psychiatrie militaire; psychological care; soin psychique.
