The involvement of family members is crucial and improves the prognosis of psychiatric patients and reinforces therapeutic adherence and reduces the frequency of relapses. For schizophrenia, the scientific literature clearly shows that it's in the interest of the patient to offer to his family a psychoeducational program.
Therapeutic education programs are now part of the recommendations of good clinical practice and in the French health through the law n ° 2009-879 of July 21, 2009 on the reform of the hospital and relating to patients, health and territories.
