There is no recovery without a transformation. This is conveyed by a greater ability to adapt to the demands of daily life and a significant reduction in the behavioural expression of symptoms. This is combined with a positive experience of oneself in the present and a firm belief in the continuity of oneself in the future, over the medium term. Therapeutic apartments are an example of schemes favouring the patient's recovery. This article presents the example of the Foyer Damidot, near Lyon.
