Résumé
Psychosocial rehabilitation (PSR) is a practice focused on recovery of the personal processes through which the older adult works to maintain their autonomy for as long as possible, and to remain in control of their life and decisions. The belief that, once old, people lose their ability to act is often linked to cognitive biases and can have a negative impact on recovery. Indeed, compared to adults, older people are doubly stigmatized, both by mental disorders and the consequences of aging. Thus, in the recovery process, it is important for the geriatric population to take into account specificities related to aging. Moreover, PSR must go beyond the control of symptoms and aim to improve quality of life and well-being. We thus propose to describe in this article the PSR tools adapted to psychiatry for older adults.
