ASM 13

About ASM 13

The Mental Health Association of the 13th arrondissement of Paris was founded in 1958 by Professor Philippe Paumelle, soon joined by Professors Serge Lebovici and René Diatkine, to offer local care to people suffering from psychological and psychiatric disorders. It was the first to conceive and implement the so-called "psychiatric sector" policy as a pilot experiment. Led by a group of psychoanalyst-psychiatrists, ASM 13 offers diversified care, both outpatient and inpatient, covering all ages, as well as a wide range of training courses, seminars, conferences, and publications through its PSY13 department. ASM 13 is a non-profit organization recognized as being of public utility; its establishments are private healthcare facilities of collective interest (ESPIC).
