Re-institutionnalisation ou désinstitutionnalisation ? Regards croisés entre la France et l’Argentine : à propos des réglementations en santé mentale

Objective

While psychiatry has never been defined as guaranteeing the law, its purpose socially and historically has been defined as protecting society from its most intolerable by-products. We will see how the evolution in the treatment of insanity in France and its influence on Argentinian psychiatry has brought us today to very different and even opposite situations in the area of mental health policies in these two countries.
