Abstract
In 2002, the Inserm (...) published an expert appraisal of Child and Adolescent Mental Illness. This report emphasised that research should fulfil the demands of EBM (evidence-based medicine), if it wished to be viewed as scientific, which is rarely seen in French research. Thus, we decided to discover what is in fact the case, by examining the research published in one of the best-known journal in France, between 1985 and 2002. This literature review (which was based on more than 40 related studies of the environmental factors in the psychology and psychopathology of development) led us to conclude that even though French research does not often fulfil the criteria detailed by Inserm, it has several advantages: it is better adapted to our cultural context, it is more easily applied to clinical situations where comorbidity is the rule, and it is more clinically relevant as an awareness of the importance of meaning is an essential ingredient in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach.
