[Treatment of schizophrenia: a new synthesis of the literature].

One can say that a new approach of long-term treatment of schizophrenia is born. In the last years many authors developed a psychoeducational point of view based on the concept of expressed emotions. These works are quite unknown by the French psychiatrists. However, this new way of treating schizophrenics is a very complete pattern. It includes and integrates many datas from psychophysiology to family functioning and seems very promising. The main studies are presented and discussed here.
