Following two cases of young patients, issued of african immigration or mixed franco-african couple, and presenting antisocial acts, the authors are wondering about the relationship between identity and ethnic troubles. They think it may be a clinical "message" of troubles, joining cultural distress and separation anxiety, on an obvious oedipian found.
After many years of psychotic evolution, many patients reach a degree of stability which, without being the equivalent of autonomy, enables them to maintain a psychological and behavioral equilibrium if the psychiatric and social services may fit for the particularities of each case. Thus, psychosis may remain stable within its socio-dependence, if management is adapted to its structure and history, and finally to its vulnerability and predispositions.
The authors trace the history of ideological or socio-economical-political conditions of desinstitutionalisation. They try to analyse the consequence of it about the constitution of a new pathology of homeless and careless chronic mental ill. This pathology was described first in the states and Canada. It begins to be described in France. The authors go on to show it's a new kind of mental pathology, needing to take place in the new classifications of mental illness.
