[From geriatric psychology to old age psychiatry]. / De la psychogériatrie à la psychiatrie de la personne âgée.

The story of the old age psychiatry unit François-Rabelais at the hospital in Quimperlé shows the need for practices to evolve, the optimisation of care as well as a specific patient pathway approach. The patient as a player in his or her care remains a focal point. A personalised care project aims to ensure the continuous improvement of the quality of care. In practice, a shift towards ambulatory care shows that 'real life is not hospital' but home.

[Social and mood enhancement benefits of a cognitive remediation workshop]. / Bénéfices sociaux et thymiques d'un atelier de remédiation cognitive.

A workshop focused on memory aimed at people with degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease can evolve into a social-therapeutic group for people also suffering from mood disorders. Cognitive remediation is therefore orientated towards social-mood mediation.
