Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST R0x6FEEC. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Dr. Firth-Cozens begins her paper by reviewing a broad range of research related to physicians'stress, depression, and alcoholism (Firth-Cozens, 2001, Social Science and Medicine, 52,215-222). She then argues that these psychological problems have a negative impact on patient care and describes the possible causes of these problems. Finally, she proposes a system of organizational and individual interventions to address these problems. Before accepting her conclusions and proposed system of interventions, an important issue should be considered. Is physicians'well-being an important goal in and of itself, or do we need strong evidence that physician stress, depression, and alcoholism lead to poor patient care and outcomes ?
