Abstract
The author discusses whether post-partum psychoses are to be considered as a clinical entity per se. The studies conducted in Lausanne seem to demonstrate that the authors of DSM III were correct in excluding this possibility - of all the patients with a post partum episode, 65% had one or several relapses without connection with the puerperium.Keywords
