title: [Empoverishment and social integration of psychiatric adults.].
abstract: Social integration of young adult psychiatric patients is seen differently by those who dispense psychiatric and institutional services, and the people who use those services. Institutional personnel are caught in a web of contradictions, living the strange ambivalence of an institution which must deinstitution-alize its clientele. On the other hand, the young adult using mental health services sees the impact social integration will have on his quality of life : is life "outside" possible when both institutional organization and conditions within society contribute to impoverishing one's personality and resources?
