title: [Values and limitations of the notion of chronic hallucinatory psychosis. Study of 17 cases].
abstract: From a study of 17 cases of Chronic Hallucinatory Psychosis (PHC) hospitalized between 1982 and 1990 at Tours in the public university department of psychiatry, and from recent results about the female specificities of schizophrenia, the article puts forward the hypothesis that PHC primarily describes a late and singular modality of schizophrenia in women.
