Classification of the psychoses of the adult

The group of the Psychose S is a concept resulting from the European Psychopathologie, inherited work of Emil Kraepelin, those of the French school, and also referring to the design freudienne of an opposition between Névrose and Psychose. The evolution of psychiatry leads us today to stress that there exist several types of classifications of the psychoses of the adult : those which are inherited the French school, and that which concern the North-American school, through instruments like DSM-IV. It should be noted that these two systems are not in correspondence.
