Résumé

Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques are becoming a part of psychiatrists' therapeutic arsenal. Proof of TMS effectiveness and its indications are becoming clearer. While international recommendations exist, and many countries have already recognized the use of these techniques, the French situation is peculiar since no recommendation has been published by the High Authority of Health. Consequently, those techniques are not reimbursed by the healthcare service, few practitioners are trained, some are criticized for using it, and practices remain very heterogeneous. It is therefore important to investigate what slows down the development of these techniques. The objective of this study was to determine the acceptability of TMS by psychiatrists and to analyze the factors influencing it.
