title: [Psychiatric hospital. The years 1935-1945. A computerized study].
abstract: Studying the files collected during a 11-years stay in a psychiatric hospital, the authors wonder about the patients' characteristics in those days, and especially about the recorded diagnoses. They show the patients' evolution and notably the fact that most of them became institutionalized. They also underline the huge percentage of psychotics as opposed to the small number of deteriorations resulting from age, times and rural environment allowing older people to continue their life at home.
