abstract: Having given a definition of chronic pulmonary patients and of readaptation by reference to the W.H.O. and to the results of an international survey and the study group of the special Unit of the European Society of respiratory Physiopathology, the authors report a critical study of the conception and the present aims of readaptation. They successively present the therapeutical, medico-social and psychological aspects of readaptation, the different techniques used today, and summarize the present functioning of Europeans centres of readaptation. Finally they draw the main lines of a program of readaptation with the public health scheme and envisage the problems of organization and functioning.
