The distinction between Psychotherapy as a cure of Neurotic patients and Psycho-Rehabilitation as a cure for Psychotic patients, reveals the distrust of the clinicians in a cure of the mentally ill patients which goes beyond the simply calming them. This distrust has produced a psycho-rehabilitation in which medication and social entertainment or homeostatic pedagogic support, hide a distressing and depressing tendency to become chronic. Furthermore mentally ill patients are property of DSM (Department of Mental health = Nationalization of the cure). This prevents from the spread of experiences of Restructuring cures which remain restricted within private practice. In the future, we will need to work so that patients and their families are free to choose where to get treated and who is the professional to rely on. We wish this will encourage the scientific world to build models of mental suffering treatments that can be more efficient and human.
