title: [The reform of psychiatric care].
abstract: Psychiatric care has until now often been synonymous with hospitalisation. A reform of the law last summer requires a strict protocol to be implemented which results in the patient either being admitted as an inpatient or being treated via a modular care programme, at home for example. The bringing together of medical expertise and opinions, as well as the involvement of the liberty and custody judge, ensure that patients' rights are respected.
