abstract="Schizophrenia is the mental disorder that involves the most striking social impairment, although psychic defect is not ineluctable. To explore this issue, the authors studied the clinical and social outcome of forty-four subjects with schizophrenia, whose first hospitalization occured in an universitary psychiatric department of a provincial hospital. The course of the schizophrenic disorder was sub-chronic, according to the DSM III-R. Evaluation of a five years follow-up showed a good clinical outcome, with a low incidence of further admissions. With regard to the social aspect, patients with social support were in increasing number. Socio-occupational feature before first admission is a second-rate prognosis-indicator while brief duration of the index hospitalization is a reliable prognosis-indicator of a favorable social outcome. Our findings confirm that schizophrenia is still compromising social integration. Suicide remains the principal cause of death among schizophrenics.<p /><p>Language: fr</p>",
