title: [Rehabilitation of chronic psychiatric patients. Description of a program and follow-up of 89 patients transfered to rest homes].
abstract: The reevaluation of the existence and function of the psychiatric hospital increases the problem presented by chronic patients. This study analyses the outcome of 89 chronic psychiatric patients transfered in rest homes. Is this alternative extramural solution for chronic hospitalization disirable? If yes, under which conditions? The favorable results of our survey have confirmed our basis hypothesis: all these patients do not need care structured on hospitalization.
