[Standardized symptomatologic inventory adapted to psychiatric emergency].

Clinical psychiatry, particularly in the case of hospital emergency, begins with the patient's benevolent observation. It goes on with the verbal communication, subordinated itself to linguistic problems. There are now daily cross-cultural practising and education in France. This is the presentation of a standardized inventory and of its instructions for use, created in connection with a multicentric currently analysed survey. The inventory can be used without major difficulty by non clinicians and general practitioners.
