Abstract
A family placement service program wherein stabilized mental patients are placed with families to whom they are not related is described. The service is located south of Paris, France, and is likely to be adaptable to the areas adjacent to any large city. Family recruitment and patient selection criteria are described and the role of the social worker-psychiatrist team is reviewed. The families and patients appear to function best when a situation of mutual need exists. The patient population and the therapeutic results over a brief follow-up period are described statistically.Keywords
