[The applications to chronicity in mental health of the International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities and Handicaps].
The present work focuses on the difficulties to accomplish an adequate valuation of needs in "chronic" psychical patients. First, a reference is made to the characteristics of the so-called "new chronics", mostly cared outside the hospital, after the process of deinstitutionalization carried out during the last years. Then, an analysis of the International Classification of Deficiencies, Discapacities and Invalidities published by the World Health Organization in 1980, (as annex of the International Classification of Diseases) is carried out. This work studies basically the description of its classification contents and a valuation of its effectiveness as and instrument to be used in the planning and evaluation works and in the care of patients with mental "chronic" diseases.
