[" Erasme " shelter.].
Having tired of an ineffective hospital practice in the psycho-therapeutic treatment of psychosis, a psychiatrist founds, with health care workers, a therapeutic community where preference is given to the taking in of schizophrenics. The author summarizes the establishment, the mode of operation, the difficulties and the results of the enterprise of ten years duration. He believes that the daily sharing of the same way of life is therapeutic and favours the readaptation to the external world. In addition, it is a shared enrichment in which helper and helpee learn one from the other.
