French psychiatry is currently facing a period of profound change, as many of what were considered its most specific characteristics and traditions have been called into question. It is therefore difficult to draw a profile of French psychiatry, because it has to take into account a radical splitting between, on the one hand, what is still the common profile of most French psychiatrists and, on the other, the new model imposed by stakeholders and policy makers who want French psychiatry to take on a more Anglo-Saxon profile, with evidence-based practice coming to the fore, for instance.
