N2  - 315 patients admitted to the psychiatric hospital of Nouville, New-Caledonia, during the year 1987, are examined. There are several ethnies: Melanesians, Europeans, Wallisians. Europeans are admitted for depression, suicide and neurotic troubles. On the contrary Melanesians and Wallisians are admitted for acute and chronic psychotic troubles above all. Maniac-depressive illness exists in every ethny. There are a lot of psychopathological hypothesis. Indigenous medicine of Melanesians in New-Caledonia has a great part in the distribution of diagnostics.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>
