title: [The fate of psychotic delinquents. Follow-up study].
abstract: This work is a study of the fate of psychotic delinquents. In the first part, several family, individual, social and professional dates are examined in a number of 106 patients. It appears that, in addition to the psychosis, a weak intellect and a previous dissocial behaviour are the most promoting factors to delinquency. In the second part, the author reviews the evolution of psychosis among 90 patients, during an average catamnestic period of 27.85 years. She arrives to the conclusion that the illness develops in an unfavourable way. This however seems not to depend on the delinquency itself, nor on the forensic medicine measures, but is much more correlated to the form of the psychosis.
