Abstract

This article develops a theory based on 10 years of involvement in an external psychiatric clinic identified as Mental Health Centre (<< Centre de santé mentale >>). Our first objective is to break the isolation in which our subjects have been living and to succeed in establishing significant ties with them. Our work concentrates on people suffering from schizophrenia that we meet daily in groups. In the article, we present a profile of this clientele, our conception of their way of adaptating to life, their therapeutic course and the framework in which it has evolved. Given the development of newly acquired skills as a result of these privileged ties, how do the beneficiaries transpose them into community life? While some succeed in using their new skills and others don't, the latter group must face the necessity of an adapted social reinsertion. This is the reason why we have decided to focus on the dynamic understanding of these people and the particular conditions of their social reinsertion.
