Abstract

Over the last years a clear increase in serious psychic disorders and particulary in the area of drugs an increase of patients with a drug-induced psychosis can be established. In this contribution experiences we made over the last four years in the attempt at integrating patients with drug-induced psychosis into a clientele of polytoxicomanic patients are presented. Here, particulary from the systemic point of view, the rules and patterns of the families are presented because these rules and patterns are newly staged in the in-patient setting. The detachment and the development of a life of one's own responsibility is seen as the main problem of the patients with a drug-induced psychosis. Experiences up until now show that an integration of this clientele is successful even if the therapeutical process poses many difficulties for the fellow-patients and the team.
