title: [Towards the definition of cure].
abstract: Is the term cure adapted to psychiatry? Firstly, it is important to establish what this status represents. What is immediately clear is that the term cure cannot be addressed in isolation. Considering the term leads us to question notions such as those of disease and the norm, without forgetting the actual purpose of care. Cure can then be envisaged more as a 'possible' for caregivers.
