title: [From deintegration to professional reintegration following a sick leave from work for a mental health problem].
abstract: The aim of this study is to better understand the factors involved in the process of professional reintegration following an absence because of a mental health problems. The methodology is based on data collected from individual interviews with workers who were on a sick leave for reasons of mental health problems as certified by a medical diagnosis. The analysis of the path of people allows to better seize the articulation between events preceding the work interruption, the process of restoration of capacities and conditions favoring or hindering the return to work. This study allows to conceive the interruption of work and the process of restoration of capacities as a turning point between the process of deintegration and professional reintegration and build a model that encompasses the dynamic of the whole factors involved.
