title: [Care for chronic psychotic patients within the French public health       system].
abstract: This article examines rehabilitation of chronic psychotic patients as elaborated in       France in the course of the last 60 years. After an overview of the historical and legislative       aspects of the psychosocial rehabilitation movement, the article describes the different       aspects that this terminology covers, and describes the various structures that currently       exist in France. For ease of discussion, it develops the specificity of rehabilitation care as       conceived by the Association Santé mentale in Paris'13ème arrondissement, created in 1958 as a       pilot project of France's future sectorisation. Our approach to care has been to favor the       establishment of structures that include healthcare settings for less independent patients, to       home-based care far from psychiatric care strictly speaking. Between these two poles, we have       created both intermediate structures, but also developed a partnership with medical and social       structures in order to favor transition of the institution to the city.
